The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens living on the tiny local earnings, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that most don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the very rich of the state and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably big tourist business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 just one armed bandits. Mutare contains 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 houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is simply not known.
