The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the people subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are two popular types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Among 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 Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots 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 have slot machines and tables.

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

Since the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is merely not known.
