The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For many of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two established types of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are extremely low, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the majority do not buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large tourist business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and table games.

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

Since the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until things get better is merely unknown.
