The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably big tourist industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until things improve is simply unknown.
