The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For nearly all of the people living on the meager local wages, there are two popular styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that many don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the very rich of the state and travelers. Up till recently, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. 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, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till things improve is basically unknown.
