The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a bigger desire to bet, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For many of the citizens living on the meager local earnings, there are 2 common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that most do not purchase a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the country and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until things get better is merely not known.
