Details of the Boom

Russian officials are quite concerned about the surprising influx of illegal online casino gambling activities in the country and the booming instant lottery market that has surged forward in the gaping hole in the market left by exiting land gambling venues. Over the summer, newly enforced Russian legislation forced the closure of hundreds of land gambling venues throughout all of Russia’s major cities. As the land gambling venues closed down instant lottery operations have cropped up in their wake. Additionally, the internet cafes have now seen an opportunity for a booming market in relation to the online casinos. Although internet gambling is illegal in the country and land gambling in the major metropolitan areas of Russia, there are few actually measures in place to stop illegal internet gambling from flourishing.

The Deputy Major in Moscow, Sergei Baidakov, is very concerned about the rise in surrogate technologies that are now replacing the gap left by the land casinos. According to Baidakov nearly 200 of the previous gambling establishments are now being re-purposed to support the sale of instant lottery tickets. The venues are already familiar to gamblers and the instant lottery industry has simply surged almost overnight. Gamblers who were previously content to use the land gambling venues are now seeking out internet cafes with the hope of easily accessing the illegal online casinos.

One of the plus sides to this new boom in the lotteries and online casino gambling industry is a hope that these surrogate technologies will provide jobs for the hundreds of thousand land gambling employees who lost their jobs over the summer.
