The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For most of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are 2 dominant styles of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that many do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the society and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the 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, both of which offer table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions get better is merely unknown.
