According to the "Today" union head of the Kiev enterprises gaming Yuri Cogema, the Finance Ministry and the State Committee for Regulatory Policy and Entrepreneurship charged with developing the concept of the law on gambling. "This order is extended until May 30. If we talk about gambling in hotels, then, in my opinion, they will give the State funds only for control of these objects.

Our position is this: if the casino will be in the 4 - and 5-star hotels and entertainment centers, it will give the budget about 2 billion 300 million UAH. Of the several thousand points of game, working up to the ban, could resume work about 80. We provided calculations - told us Cogema. - We believe that it is impossible to return to the dominance of slot machines, which was - if and to allow them to work, within the casino. No more.

"The concept of mandated to develop me and the Ministry of Finance, - confirmed the" Today "Head of State Committee for Entrepreneurship Michael Brodsky. - Placing a casino proposed for all 5-star hotels, as well as in the 3 - and 4-star hotels resort towns, but not limited to the Crimea, and Ukraine and the West. What a town, solve. Log - in 1921 and only a passport. " When the concept is agreed upon, the parliament will be served a bill. According to Brodsky, after the May 30 introduction of the law can take no less than six months, so the first casino can appear in at least early next year.

They say representatives of metropolitan gambling business after the ban many of their colleagues opened a casino in Europe and even in Brazil. "Soon my colleague to open a business in Montenegro. The fact that we are able to well manage such a business and not as raspaltsovannye, as Muscovites with them want to deal in the West "- told us one of the Kiev businessmen. In Ukraine, despite the ban, some gambling houses operating illegally, there are even some early contenders for a fine of 5 million UAH. But they applied to the tax in court, saying that their game is not been profitable.
