The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the situation.

For many of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two established types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that most don’t purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the exceedingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have carved into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t known how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
