The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the other way, with the critical market conditions creating a higher desire to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the problems.

For nearly all of the locals living on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It's been said by economists who look at the idea that the lion's share don't buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is based on either the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the country and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.

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 Casino, 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, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is merely not known.
