The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a higher ambition to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the people living on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 established forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the majority do not buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the society and vacationers. Up until not long ago, there was a extremely substantial vacationing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions get better is simply not known.
