The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe's gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For the majority of the locals living on the abysmal local wages, there are two established types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It's been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly big tourist business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe's casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker 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 are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come about, it isn't known how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until things get better is merely unknown.
