If no gambling zone appears in Krasnoyarsk Territory, there will be no
slot-machine in the region by 2009, Deputy-Governor Sergey Sokol announced.
Speaking about possible arrangement of a gambling zone in Krasnoyarsk
Territory, Sokol said the administration has ready proposals to build a
gambling zone in a southern district of the region. "We are not striving at
this, yet we have got ready proposals in compliance with all the
requirements set,' the deputy-governor stated. As KNews reported earlier,
Russia's President Vladimir Putin had introduced a bill to the State Duma.
According to the bill, all the casinos, betting companies and slot-machines
will be moved to four special zones: two in European Russia, one in Siberia
and one in Far East.
