The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that most do not purchase a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the society and sightseers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until things improve is merely not known.
