The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the locals living on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 established types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that most do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the very rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and tables.

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

Given that the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is merely unknown.
