The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the locals living on the abysmal local money, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Until recently, there was a extremely big sightseeing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots 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 have gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come about, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is merely not known.
