The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe's casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It's been said by financial experts who study the situation that many don't buy a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the exceedingly rich of the state and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer slot machines and table games.

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

Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn't known how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until things improve is simply not known.
