The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a larger desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are two common types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that many do not purchase a card with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the very rich of the society and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, 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 gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is basically not known.
