The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe's casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a higher eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the meager local wages, there are two established types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also very large. It's been said by economists who understand the situation that the majority do not purchase a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the state and tourists. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, 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 has video poker machines and tables.

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

Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come to pass, it isn't known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till things improve is merely not known.
