Russian Casino
Now Open
The
new slot machine gambling plan that
Russia
came up with had upset a lot of people.
They took the slot machines that had
overrun their country and had put them
in remote areas so that if people still
wanted to gamble they could, but it
limited resident’s exposure to the
games. It has been over half of a year
since the law went into effect and
closed down the slot machine parlors and
casinos. Now a new casino has opened in Azov City
which is one of the zones in
Southern Russia.
Several hundred people showed up for the
opening of the Oracle slot machine
casino, although it appeared that most
of them were just there to see what it
looked like. Out of 500 or so patrons,
only roughly 100 seemed to be placing
bets. The casino has more than enough to
offer – with 200 slot machines and ten
gaming tables. Located roughly 60 miles
from the nearest city, it was probably
not quite the turn out that the casino
was hoping for.
They
said that although there was not much of
a turnout they felt that there were
enough people interested in slot
machines that they would see more coming
in the future. They said that they were
so sure of it that they were going to
start building a hotel to go with their
slot machine casino so that people had
somewhere to stay when they came out.
When
the law was passed to limit the slot
machines to these four areas many
thought that it would never be enforced,
but it was and now it has become quite a
commute for many Russians to play the
slot machines. Only time will tell if
these casinos are going to be successful
enough to stay open in their new areas.
