The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe's gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical economic conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 established forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It's been said by financial experts who study the subject that many do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe's casinos, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Up till recently, there was a considerably large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe's casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe's gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till things get better is merely unknown.
