The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the problems.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are two common types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the society and vacationers. Up until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker 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 blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is simply not known.
