The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For the majority of the people living on the meager nearby money, there are two common forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that many don’t buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely large tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 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 just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer 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, each of which has gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is simply not known.
