The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances creating a bigger eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 established types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are extremely small, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the exceedingly rich of the country and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a very large sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.

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 Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, 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 tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is simply not known.
