The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater desire to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For almost all of the citizens living on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 popular styles of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that most do not purchase a card with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a extremely big tourist industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, 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 blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions get better is merely not known.
