The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger desire to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For most of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two common styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that most don’t purchase a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the society and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably large sightseeing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is simply unknown.
