The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For many of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are 2 common styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is simply not known.
