The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a greater desire to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the situation.

For the majority of the locals living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 established styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the majority do not purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and tables.

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

Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions improve is basically not known.
