The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the locals subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that most don’t buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the astonishingly rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a very substantial vacationing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to 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 second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is merely unknown.
