The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are two common styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the very rich of the society and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, slot machines and video 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 tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until things improve is simply not known.
