Zimbabwe Casinos
Thursday, 19. June 2025
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two dominant styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that many do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly big tourist business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated 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 second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is simply not known.
