The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a higher ambition to play, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 common styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the very rich of the state and tourists. Up until recently, there was a extremely big sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and tables.

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

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is simply unknown.
