The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.

For many of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the exceedingly rich of the state and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a very substantial vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

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 just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is basically unknown.
