The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are 2 dominant types of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the extremely rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have cut into this market.

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

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

Since the market has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till things improve is merely unknown.
