The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny local wages, there are two popular styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Until recently, there was a extremely big vacationing business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is basically unknown.
