The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe's gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For many of the locals living on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 popular types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It's been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion's share do not buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the state and travelers. Until recently, there was a very big tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. 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, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming 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 are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till things get better is merely not known.
