Zimbabwe Casinos
November 3rd, 2026 at 0:25
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the critical economic circumstances leading to a higher ambition to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the tiny local wages, there are two common forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that many do not buy a ticket with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the state and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a very big tourist industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 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 just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slots 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 have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
