Despite the fact that only 19 percent of the adult Russian population approve of casino slots, the Russian parliament said that the country’s gambling industry has reached a size of over $6 billion in total wagers, mostly bankrolled by a few high rollers.
Alexander Lebedev, a deputy of the Russian parliament, says most of the money is wagered in Moscow gambling casinos and slot machine halls.
A recent survey of people over the age of 18 revealed that only 19 percent approved of casino slots, while many favored an outright national ban on gambling. This means that most of $6 billion wagered in Russia is done by a very small percentage of the population.
The spirits of casino gambling, nightlife, and entertainment are hovering over Moscow. If the rest of the mainstream population begin to join the few casino high rollers, Moscow could eventually be the next hotbed for casino gambling investments, just as Asia was a few years ago.
