The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful economic circumstances creating a greater ambition to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the people surviving on the meager local money, there are 2 common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that many don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Until recently, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

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

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

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till things improve is basically unknown.
