The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a bigger desire to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that most do not buy a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a very big vacationing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have carved into this trade.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is merely unknown.
