The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the crucial market conditions creating a bigger ambition to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For nearly all of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are two dominant forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the very rich of the society and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and tables.

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

Since the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
