The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the locals living on the tiny nearby money, there are two dominant types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved 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 slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the 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 have gaming tables, slots 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 gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is simply not known.
