The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that the majority don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the state and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the pair of which have table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and tables.

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

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is simply unknown.
