The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the situation.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the state and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a incredibly big tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 gambling hall, 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, the pair of which have table games, slot machines 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 have video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on until things get better is basically unknown.
