The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are 2 common types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the nation and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a very big sightseeing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, 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 contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Given that the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around until things improve is simply unknown.
