The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the problems.

For the majority of the locals subsisting on the meager local money, there are 2 common types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the exceedingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated 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 5 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 only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is merely unknown.
