The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the desperate market conditions creating a greater desire to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For the majority of the people surviving on the tiny local wages, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also very high. It's been said by market analysts who understand the situation that most do not buy a ticket with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a very large vacationing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe's casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite 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 city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is merely unknown.
