The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the locals living on the meager local earnings, there are 2 common types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that many don’t buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
