The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a higher ambition to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For many of the people living on the meager nearby money, there are 2 established styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the English football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably big vacationing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed 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 only slot machine games. 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, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and table games.

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

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come about, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions improve is basically unknown.
