Zimbabwe Casinos
by Jakayla on Nov.06, 2026, under Casino
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a bigger desire to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 established types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the state and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. 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 contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till things get better is basically unknown.
