The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe's gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a greater ambition to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For nearly all of the people surviving on the abysmal local money, there are two established styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It's been said by financial experts who look at the idea that most don't buy a ticket with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the exceedingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a very large sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe's casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it isn't known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is merely unknown.
