The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be working the other way, with the awful market conditions leading to a greater ambition to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the people living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 popular forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that many do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the nation and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, 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, the pair of which offer table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is basically unknown.
