The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe's casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a bigger ambition to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also very high. It's been said by financial experts who study the concept that the lion's share do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the astonishingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a extremely large sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

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 machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not known how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till things improve is simply not known.
