The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For nearly all of the people living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two established types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many do not purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a very large sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only 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, both of which offer table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on until things get better is merely not known.
