Gambling in Russia

The gambling industry in Russia consists of three sectors: state lotteries, casinos and slot machines operations, and sports betting. Lotteries are organized by the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Finance of Russia and operated by certified organizations. Legal casinos and EGMs are confined to four specific gambling zones in Altai Republic, Kaliningrad, Krasnaya Polyana (near Sochi), and Artyom (near Vladivostok). Bookmakers operate both online and offline. Strict regulations led to the emergence of a significant underground gambling market in Russia.
