The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the locals living on the meager local wages, there are two popular styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that many do not buy a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the state and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely large tourist industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, 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 have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till things improve is basically not known.
