The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For most of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are two common styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the majority don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the astonishingly rich of the country and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and table games.

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

Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has resulted, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
