The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a larger desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For most of the people subsisting on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are 2 popular styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines 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 video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions improve is basically unknown.
