The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the problems.

For most of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that many don’t buy a ticket with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slots and video 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 halls 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 second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions get better is basically unknown.
