The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a higher desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For most of the locals living on the tiny local money, there are 2 established forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that most do not purchase a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the astonishingly rich of the country and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a very big tourist business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 just the 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, both of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply unknown.
