The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the crucial economic circumstances creating a greater ambition to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two common types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It's been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the lion's share do not purchase a card with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly big tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe's gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it isn't understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till conditions improve is simply unknown.
