Zimbabwe gambling dens
Tuesday, 2. December 2025
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the crucial market conditions creating a larger desire to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the people subsisting on the meager local wages, there are 2 common styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that most don’t purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. 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, the two of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions improve is basically not known.
