The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a bigger ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 common types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the considerably rich of the society and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a very big tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is merely not known.
