Zimbabwe gambling dens
Friday, 31. October 2025
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the desperate market conditions leading to a bigger desire to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two popular forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that many do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a very big tourist business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 slot machines. 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 gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till things get better is merely not known.
