Zimbabwe gambling halls
Sunday, 8. February 2026
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the people living on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that most do not buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably large tourist industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five 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, the pair of which have 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 two of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions get better is simply not known.
