The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the people subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are two popular styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that many do not buy a card with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the very rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely big tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, 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, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions improve is simply unknown.
