The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a higher ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also very high. It's been said by market analysts who study the concept that most don't purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the astonishingly rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a very large sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe's casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy 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 until things improve is basically not known.
