The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions leading to a larger desire to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the problems.

For most of the people surviving on the abysmal local money, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

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

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

Since the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions improve is merely unknown.
