The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a higher ambition to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the people subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two established styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many do not buy a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the considerably rich of the state and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a very big sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till things get better is simply not known.
