The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances creating a greater ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the problems.

For many of the citizens surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 popular types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the exceedingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up till recently, there was a considerably big tourist business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, 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, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till things get better is merely not known.
