The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the people living on the tiny local money, there are two dominant forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, 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 table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is merely not known.
