The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the citizens living on the tiny local money, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It's been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the majority don't purchase a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated conflict have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. 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 two of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has resulted, it is not understood how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive till things improve is simply unknown.
