Countries around the world are eager to reap the benefits of legalized casino gambling, and Israel has joined the rush. The Israeli Tourism Ministry has brokered a deal with the Israel Land Administration to set aside twelve acres on the north shore of the Red Sea as a site for casino construction.

Tourism Minister Yitzhak Aharanovitch indicated the casino would only be the first of several casino and legal gambling projects for Israel. The minister stated that among many reasons to establish casino gambling in Israel is the desire to reduce illegal gambling.

Aharanovitch said, "As a former law enforcement official, I can tell those who oppose the idea that a casino would downsize the extent of the illegal gambling operations in Israel as well as the related criminal activities."

Illegal gambling in Israel amounts to more than $3.6 billion a year.

Eilat, the southernmost city in Israel, was chosen as the first casino site because tourism in the area has been negatively affected by casinos located nearby in neighboring countries. The Red Sea area is seen as perfect for hotels, trading, and retail centers, and is envisioned as a vacation spot.

The city's beaches and desert scenery, combined with a dry climate whose temperatures are moderated by tropical sea breezes give Eilat a natural advantage which will only be emphasized by casino expansion.

Problem with accuracy in our casino directory? let us know, please: accuracy@worldcasinodirectory.com

This is ground breaking news - there is a distinct lack of casinos in this region of the world. I think there are a few cruise ships leaving from Eliat with casinos on board, too.
