The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe's gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the citizens surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It's been said by economists who study the idea that most don't buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the exceedingly rich of the country and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably big vacationing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until conditions get better is simply not known.
