Boyko Facing Career Change

Now that Russia has decided to curtail slot machines and gambling, many in the country are wondering what they are going to do for their revenue stream. Slot machines had become a huge problem in the country, and many have been fighting for a long time to get them removed, or at the very least cut back some. Now the country is finally doing something about it.

Slot machine king Oleg Boyko is one of those looking for a new career. There is a new law that goes into effect next July and this will greatly cut back on the plethora of slot machines that are currently all over Russia. The law moves all slot machines out of the main areas and relegates them to four separate locations across the country. If you are not located in one of the four areas, the slot machines that you currently own are now illegal.

The government decided to cut back on the slot machines due to pressure, but it also is attempting to make their version of Las Vegas by limiting the slot machines to only certain locations. However, Boyko has spend a lifetime working up his slot machine business, and now it is all slipping away. He will be forced to leave most of his current locations vacant, which means that there will be numerous storefronts that he will either simply leave empty or attempt to convert to something else.

Boyko’s Ritzio Entertainment has slot machines from Romania to Peru, and made millions last year. Now he has to figure out what to do next.
