The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe's casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a larger desire to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are two dominant forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It's been said by economists who understand the subject that most do not buy a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the astonishingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a very substantial tourist business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the 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 pair of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and table games.

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

Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it isn't understood how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe's casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is merely not known.
