Zimbabwe gambling halls
January 23rd, 2026 at 22:25
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the citizens living on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 popular types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the extremely rich of the country and travelers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 gambling hall, which has only 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 two of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things get better is merely unknown.
