The NYT on Gambling in Russia
There is a good article in the New York Times today about Russia's gambling problem. Vladimir doesn't have as big a problem as many major cities, but there are still at least three or four casinos on the main street and lots of smaller ones spread throughout the city. Many are just a room with a few slot machines, but they are still a huge problem.
An interesting line from the story (emphasis mine):
Pressed by President Vladimir V. Putin, the only political authority that matters anymore, lawmakers are drafting a law that would banish casinos, slot-machine parlors and other gambling halls from Moscow, though they could be allowed to operate in a few other places.
