The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a larger ambition to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For the majority of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two common types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It's been said by financial experts who look at the situation that many don't buy a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very big vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps 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 are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is basically unknown.
