Vladimir Putin signed a new law amending the government regulation of the gambling business

December 30, 2006

The federal law restricts gambling in Russia to several “gambling zones” across the country. Outside these zones, only bookmaking and pari-mutuels will be allowed.

Gambling zones will be established beyond the borders of existing inhabited areas; land there will be for lease or for sale, depending on users’ intentions.
