The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances creating a larger eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the majority do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the exceedingly rich of the society and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a extremely large vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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 contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until things improve is merely unknown.
