The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a larger desire to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the situation.

For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the incredibly rich of the country and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. 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 contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until things improve is basically unknown.
