The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the situation.

For the majority of the locals living on the abysmal local wages, there are two dominant styles of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the considerably rich of the society and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely substantial vacationing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions improve is basically not known.
