The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a higher ambition to play, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the people living on the meager local wages, there are 2 popular styles of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a extremely substantial tourist industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on until things get better is merely unknown.
