Zimbabwe Casinos
Thursday, 15. January 2026
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a higher ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For many of the citizens surviving on the meager nearby wages, there are two common forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the exceedingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until things improve is basically unknown.
