The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a greater ambition to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For many of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 dominant types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that most don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just 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 video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till things get better is merely unknown.
