Putin’s plans for Crimea? Casinos!

RUSSIA PLANS CASINO BOOM IN CRIMEA

Russian President Vladimir Putin has presented a draft law to create a gambling zone in Crimea. By law casinos are restricted to four special areas in Russia, all a long way from Moscow. Now Crimea will become the fifth area, under Russian President Putin’s plan. So far only Azov City, a coastal area east of Crimea, has opened casinos.

Russian President has announced ambitious plans to develop the Crimean economy. It will be up to the new authorities in Crimea to decide the location and extent of the planned casino zone.
