Gaming finished. Not ready to move, can not stay

Recently, President Dmitry Medvedev dispelled the last hope brokers gambling. Law, adopted in 2006, will not be reviewed. All casinos and gaming machines from 1 July to cease work outside the four gambling zones

- No audit, no setbacks, but would not have tried to lobby for this kind of decision the individual business organizations, will not. This is a public position - confirmed by D. Medvedev at a meeting with the head of the Federal Tax Service Mokretsovym M..
Big jackpot

The fact that representatives of the gambling community to the latest press tried to persuade the authorities to postpone or change the law, «AiF» confirmed vice-chairman of the tourism industry of hospitality and entertainment RUIE Dmitry Slobodkin. According to him, for example, each of the 5170 registered in Russia tables casino gave work to 20 people of various support staff (according to the «igrovikov», a total of about 350 thousand people, of whom 60% lose their jobs). The tax on gambling establishments brought to the regional budgets of around 30 billion rubles. per year.

According to M. Mokretsova for 4 months 2009 43% of gambling establishments have ceased to operate.

- But nobody is going at his own expense to build new cities «desert», which still does not go clients, - said Dmitry Slobodkin. At the designated zone areas that are outside of the settlements are not in the richest regions of Russia, really long - «empty field»: no roads, no infrastructure. (See chart.)

Or is it a cynical calculation that the crisis in far more people at the bait klyunet «easy money», forgetting about the rule that the casinos always win? And if gambling is such brokers «margin», not whether it cost two years ago to put the money just to develop gambling sites? Perhaps, slowly, but now these «oasis Fortune» begin to develop.
