The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a higher ambition to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are two popular forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that many do not buy a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the state and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst 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 den, which has just the 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, both of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is simply unknown.
