The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a larger desire to wager, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For nearly all of the people living on the meager nearby money, there are two common types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two 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 only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
