The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a bill to legalize gambling in hotels in Ukraine

The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a bill to legalize gambling in hotels in Ukraine. The version that goes to the Rada in coming days restricts gambling to high-end hotels and only “on gaming equipment using software that meets international standards.” “We want slot machines to disappear from the streets,” said Prime Minister Honcharuk. It is not clear if the average Ukrainian gambler will want to gamble in luxury hotels. President Zelenskiy wants the law adopted within two months. The government predicts gambling will draw $100 million in tax revenue next year.
