The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a bigger ambition to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.

For most of the people living on the tiny local earnings, there are two common forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that the majority don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the astonishingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely substantial vacationing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 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 associated deprivation and crime that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till things get better is simply not known.
