The topic 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 there was nothing left for gamblers 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 the operation of casinos in four gambling zones: in the Kaliningrad region, as well as in the Primorsky, Krasnodar and Altai Territories.
Only in Krasnodar they called such a zone "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 some time has passed, construction of facilities is progressing very slowly, and in fact only one to a few casinos are ready for operation in each zone.
So, for example, the Yantarnaya gaming zone began its work only in August of this year, and so far with only one casino, and at the moment there are only two establishments operating in the Far East. The remaining buildings are under construction.
Still evensuch small successes so far bring tangible benefits to the regions. The fact is that each 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 lead to the further development of the Krasnodar Territory.
Azov-City gambling zone
In connection with the introduction of a new zone in the Krasnodar Territory, a sad prospect is expected for establishments located in Azov City. Casinos located here will be forced to close before the end of 2018. Even sadder 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 shelter.
However, as Nikolai Oganezov, a well-known person in the field of gambling, put it, "Azov-City", the casinos in it, from the very beginning were uncompetitive. Indeed, conditions in Sochi are much more favorable, there are more people there, and the city is located closer to Turkey, from where an influx of players is also expected.

The project of such a platform for a casino is called "Krasnaya Polyana". The said complex is expected to open in the ski area of the resort, since it is there that the necessary buildings and infrastructure for opening a casino are located.
The zone will operate on the territory of the existing ski resort "Gorki-Gorod", where the headquarters of the organizers of the Olympic Games were previously located. According to the directorcomplex Elena Zakharova, the opening will depend only on how soon the first operator is chosen. The manager is sure that the first machines will start working this winter.
However, some features of the zone are already known. Thus, more than 500 gaming slots, 70 gaming halls for card games and even a separate poker club are being prepared for opening. New hotel spaces, conference rooms, cafes and restaurants, and additional entertainment facilities will be built around this diversity.
The opening of such an area is of great strategic importance for the entire region. The fact is that the creation of a gambling zone in Sochi is even more of a strategic step, because after the Olympic Games the city has a developed infrastructure that needs to be fully utilized, and this can only be done with the help of tourists.
It is assumed that gambling lovers will not need anything in Sochi: there are hotels for every taste, ski resorts, various entertainment concerts, attractions, stadiums and, of course, the Black Sea and all its delights. It is planned that the gambling zone in Sochi will recoup the investments made in the region.
Prospects for gambling zones in the country
Today, the construction of a gambling zone in Sochi is in full swing. It is planned that it should start operating next summer, because, in fact, the buildings need only internal restructuring. The opening was expected this season, but the preparations were delayed.
The only thing that can confuse casinos in Russia is the government's plans to impose a tax of 10% on all their profits. According to experts, this may lead to the fact that the gambling business simply cannot exist. However, for now, the increased fees are just talk, and it is not certain that they will actually take effect.
