The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful market conditions creating a higher desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For the majority of the people living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 dominant types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It's been said by financial experts who understand the subject that the majority don't buy a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and tourists. Until recently, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe's casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots 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 gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn't understood how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is basically unknown.
