The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical market conditions creating a greater desire to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For many of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two dominant types of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that most do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the exceedingly rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a very big sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and tables.

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 complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come about, it is not understood how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is simply unknown.
