The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the citizens surviving on the meager local wages, there are 2 popular styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that the majority do not buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the very rich of the society and travelers. Until recently, there was a incredibly big tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions improve is simply unknown.
