The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe's casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a bigger desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are two popular forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It's been said by market analysts who look at the idea that many do not purchase a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the extremely rich of the society and vacationers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably big tourist industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected conflict have carved into this trade.

Among 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 Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Centre in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexs in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by more than forty percentin the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is merely unknown.
