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.
