The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the situation.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 common forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the extremely rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved into this trade.

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 hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is simply unknown.
