The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For most of the citizens living on the meager local money, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the majority don’t purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the incredibly rich of the society and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and tables.

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

Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is basically not known.
