The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe's casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a bigger desire to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the meager local money, there are two common types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It's been said by economists who look at the concept that many do not buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the state and tourists. Up till recently, there was a very big vacationing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, 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, the two of which offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on until things improve is merely unknown.
