The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a greater ambition to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For many of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are two dominant types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It's been said by financial experts who understand the concept that many don't purchase a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the nation and travelers. Until recently, there was a exceptionally big tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling dens, 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 just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions get better is merely not known.
