The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are two common forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the incredibly rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer 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, both of which have slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is merely not known.
