The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe's casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a higher desire to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For the majority of the people surviving on the tiny local wages, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also very large. It's been said by financial experts who look at the concept that many don't buy a ticket with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the state and travelers. Until recently, there was a exceptionally big tourist business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Amongst 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 hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits 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 tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come about, it is not known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
