The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens surviving on the meager local wages, there are two established types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the country and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a very big vacationing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

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 just the slots. 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, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions get better is basically unknown.
