The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a bigger desire to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For nearly all of the people surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the 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 contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is simply unknown.
