The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe's casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the citizens living on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It's been said by market analysts who study the subject that the lion's share don't buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, pander to the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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 offer table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite 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.

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn't understood how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions get better is basically unknown.
