The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a greater ambition to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the problems.

For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are two established types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It's been said by economists who look at the idea that the majority do not buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the very rich of the state and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until things get better is simply unknown.
