The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the citizens subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 popular types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the society and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a very substantial tourist business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this trade.

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

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

Since the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is simply not known.
