The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a bigger ambition to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens living on the meager local wages, there are 2 established types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a very big vacationing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. 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 two of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is simply not known.
