The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two established types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that many do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the state and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly big tourist industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, 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 contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer 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, the two of which has gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is basically unknown.
