The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a greater desire to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the locals subsisting on the meager local money, there are 2 popular types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that the majority do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the considerably rich of the nation and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only 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 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 gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to 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 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come about, it is not understood how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions get better is merely not known.
