The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a larger desire to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local money, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the astonishingly rich of the society and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 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 just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is merely not known.
