Should casinos open in Kuzbass? Poll asks

A few days ago, the newspaper Kommersant reported that the Russian Finance Minister proposed the possibility of creating an official online platform with casinos, from which 30% would be deducted to the budget. There are five places in the country where one can spend money on gambling: Sochi, Kaliningrad Oblast, Primorsky Krai, Altai Krai, and Crimea.

Imagine that the main Kuzbass resort, Shcheregesh, could bring in even more money by increasing tourist flow through the legalization of gambling clubs on its territory or the creation of an online platform. The editorial staff of NGS42.RU decided to ask our readers whether they are for or against the operation of such a business in the region.

Previously, the editorial staff reported on the closure of an underground casino in Omsk. They also wrote about the arrest of 12 people involved in the operation of a «dark» gambling club in Novokuznetsk.
