The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a larger ambition to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the problems.

For most of the citizens living on the tiny local wages, there are two popular forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the majority do not purchase a ticket with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a very big tourist business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till things improve is basically not known.
