The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For the majority of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 established types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large tourist industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the two of which have gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and table games.

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

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not known how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till things get better is merely unknown.
