The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the locals living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 dominant types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the majority do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the very rich of the society and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has resulted, it is not known how well the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is basically not known.
