The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the awful market conditions creating a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that the majority do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a considerably big vacationing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos 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 state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is simply not known.
