The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For the majority of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two common styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that many don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the society and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Among 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 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, the two of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
