At one time there were over 1,000 casinos in Russia but they were all outlawed in order for the government to gain control over casino revenues. Several gambling zones were created and World Casino News offers intensive coverage from Sochi to the Primorsky Krai and beyond as these European and Asian gambling meccas develop and try to find their footings amongst fierce international competition. While the Siberian gambling zone near Vladivostok has not met expectations yet, you will find some big names there such as NagaCorp investing big money in its success.
