Zimbabwe Casinos
Monday, 29. December 2025
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a higher desire to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the locals living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two popular styles of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are extremely small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably large tourist industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until things improve is merely not known.
