The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the people subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two established types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that most don’t purchase a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five 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 just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it is not known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions get better is merely not known.
