The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe's casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are two common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It's been said by financial experts who understand the concept that many don't buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the very rich of the state and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe's casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn't understood how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions improve is simply unknown.
