"Krasnaya Polyana" - a new gambling zone in Sochi

The theme of gambling zones is very acute in Russia, because in 2004 the government passed a bill to close all casinos and slot machines in the country, and gamblers have nothing left but to start playing in the online space.

Gambling zones in Russia

The history of the creation of special zones began in 2006, when the government allowed casino operation in four gambling zones: in the Kaliningrad region, as well as in the Primorsky, Krasnodar and Altai Territories.

That's only in Krasnodar, such a zone was called "Azov-City". The gambling zone in Sochi began to be seriously discussed only on the eve of the Olympic Games.

Despite the fact that quite a long time has passed, the construction of objects is progressing very slowly, and in fact, in each zone, only one to several casinos are ready to work.

So, for example, the game zone "Amber" began its work only in August this year, and then only one casino, and in the Far East currently only two institutions. The remaining buildings are under construction.

Nevertheless, even such small successes still bring tangible benefits to the regions. The fact is that every company that builds a casino, not only opens gambling halls, but also creates hotels, recreation complexes, as well as jobs. The gambling zone in Sochi, for example, should also entail the further development of the Krasnodar Territory.

The gambling zone "Azov-City"

In connection with the introduction of a new zone in the Krasnodar Territory, a sad prospect is expected in establishments located in the Azov-City. The casinos located here will be forced to close before the end of 2018. Even more sad is the fact that many large companies have already invested in the creation of this gambling zone, and it is one of the few where gambling people can find refuge.

Nevertheless, as Nikolai Oganezov put it, a famous man in the sphere of gambling, Azov-City, a casino in it, from the very beginning were uncompetitive. After all, in Sochi the conditions are much more favorable, there are more people there, and the city is located closer to Turkey, from which the influx of players is also expected.

The project of such a site for a casino is called "Krasnaya Polyana". Open the named complex is supposed in the ski area of the resort, as it is there that the necessary buildings and infrastructure for opening a casino.

The zone will operate on the territory of the existing ski resort "Gorki-Gorod", where previously was the headquarters of the organizers of the Olympic Games. According to the director of the complex Elena Zakharova, the opening will depend only on how soon the first operator will be selected. The head is sure that this winter will earn the first machines.

However, some features of the zone are already known. Thus, more than 500 game slots, 70 gaming halls for card games and even a separate poker club are being prepared for opening. Around this diversity will be created new hotels, conference rooms, cafes and restaurants, as well as additional entertainment facilities.

The opening of such a square is of great strategic importance for the entire region. The fact is that the creation of a gambling zone in Sochi is more than a strategic step, because in the city after the Olympic Games there is a developed infrastructure that should be fully utilized, and this can only be done with the help of tourists.

It is assumed that in Sochi, lovers of excitement will not need anything: there are hotels for every taste, ski resorts, various entertainment concerts, attractions, stadiums and, of course, the Black Sea and all its charms. It is planned that the gambling zone in Sochi will make it possible to recoup the investments that have been made to the region.

Perspectives of gambling zones in the country

To date, the construction of the gambling zone in Sochi is in full swing. It is planned that it should be earned next summer, because, in fact, the buildings need only internal reorganization. The opening was expected this season, but the preparation was delayed.

The only thing that can embarrass a casino in Russia is the government's plans to impose a tax of 10% on all their profits. As experts say, this can lead to the fact that the gambling industry simply can not exist. However, so far, increased fees are just conversations, and it is not a fact that they will really start acting.
