Gambling zone will be set-up in Russian regions, Crimea and Sochi

These gambling zones will be created in order to prevent people fr om playing at illegal casinos which may lead to bankruptcy. Russian government has put a ban on this sphere of business 5 years ago all over the country. At the same time there are three legal gaming zones which are situated near Vladivostok, Kaliningrad and on the coast of the Caucasus. There will be two more gambling zones in addition to above-mentioned.

Gambling business in Crimea is prohibited at the moment. However, after the law was finally adopted, local authorities will have to decide and choose the best place for creating a gambling zone. It is believed to attract more investments to the region as well as will make it possible to create more job offers. Experts say that such measures will help to improve overall economic situation in Crimea. Casinos will be mostly located near Yalta and Alushta. These are the main places wh ere the biggest part of resorts is concentrated.

Speaking about Sochi, gambling zone here will be organized next to the Olympic objects.
