The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the crucial market conditions creating a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For many of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are two dominant styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the incredibly rich of the state and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on till things get better is basically unknown.
