The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For most of the people subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are two established types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most do not buy a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, look after the exceedingly rich of the state and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite 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 metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come to pass, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until things get better is basically unknown.
