The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the situation.

For most of the people living on the tiny nearby money, there are two common forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that many don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the extremely rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely big vacationing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain 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 two of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Given that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is basically not known.
