The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a bigger ambition to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the people subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are two popular types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that most do not purchase a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a very substantial tourist business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is simply not known.
