The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical market conditions leading to a larger ambition to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny local wages, there are two dominant types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the extremely rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. 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, both of which contain table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and tables.

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

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until conditions get better is merely unknown.
