The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a greater desire to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are two popular forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the society and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a very substantial tourist business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is simply not known.
