The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For nearly all of the people living on the tiny local money, there are 2 common styles of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that most do not buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the country and travelers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five 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 slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions improve is simply not known.
