The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a greater desire to bet, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For many of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two popular styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that most do not purchase a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the very rich of the state and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a very large tourist business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions improve is merely unknown.
