The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a larger ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For many of the people subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 common types of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that most do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the very rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have 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, the pair of which has video poker machines and table games.

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

Given that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has resulted, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions get better is basically unknown.
