The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the locals surviving on the tiny local money, there are two common types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only 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 two of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks 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 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is basically not known.
