The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For the majority of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 established types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that most do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the country and sightseers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is simply unknown.
