The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a greater desire to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a incredibly big tourist industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have carved into this market.

Amongst 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 Casino, which has just the 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 offer table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it is not understood how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions improve is merely not known.
