The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the critical market circumstances creating a bigger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are two dominant styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a incredibly large tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is merely not known.
