The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the awful economic circumstances creating a higher eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 established styles of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the country and sightseers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected conflict have cut 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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is basically not known.
