The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the awful economic conditions creating a higher eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For most of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It's been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the lion's share do not buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the society and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits 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 offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn't known how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is simply unknown.
