The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a higher desire to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For many of the people living on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that many don’t purchase a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the country and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a exceptionally big sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions get better is simply not known.
