The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way, with the awful market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.

For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby wages, there are two dominant styles of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that many do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the very rich of the state and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a very substantial tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst 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 only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until things get better is basically unknown.
