The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 popular styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that most don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and tourists. Until recently, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has 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, both of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
