The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For many of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two established styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that most don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
