The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the critical economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the locals surviving on the meager local wages, there are two dominant forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It's been said by financial experts who study the idea that many do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other foot, look after the considerably rich of the nation and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected conflict 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the aforementioned alluded to 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 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has resulted, it isn't understood how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions improve is basically not known.
