The Russian parliament has announced that the gambling industry has reached a new record. Over $6 billion in wagers have been earned despite the fact that only 19% of the population approves casinos. The earnings come from a few hi-rollers, officials said.
Most of the wagers take place in Moscow at local casinos and slot machines parlors.
Russian citizens disapprove gambling in all forms and many of them would support a gambling ban project. However, Moscow nightlife and casino spirit is spreading throw population. As long as people do not oppose it, Moscow could become the next casino gambling paradise for investors, just like Asia a few years ago.
