The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the awful market circumstances creating a higher desire to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For nearly all of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are two established types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that most do not purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the state and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two 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 slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until things get better is simply unknown.
