Zimbabwe gambling halls
Tuesday, 16. December 2025
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a greater desire to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that most do not buy a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slots 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 casinos and the previously 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 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions get better is simply not known.
