Zimbabwe gambling dens
Sunday, 14. December 2025
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 established types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely big vacationing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected bloodshed 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is basically not known.
