The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens surviving on the tiny local wages, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also very large. It's been said by economists who study the subject that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a very substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has resulted, it isn't known how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is basically unknown.
