The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the critical economic circumstances leading to a greater desire to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 common types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that most do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the society and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things get better is merely not known.
