The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way, with the awful market conditions creating a greater desire to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the tiny nearby wages, there are two established forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the majority do not buy a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the country and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, 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 have video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around until things improve is merely unknown.
