The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe's gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a higher ambition to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For almost all of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 established forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably large. It's been said by economists who look at the idea that many do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the exceedingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a very large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe's casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has 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 offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it is not known how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
