The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a greater ambition to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the locals surviving on the meager local earnings, there are two established forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 den, which has only slot machine games. 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, the pair 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 offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until conditions get better is merely not known.
