In Russia, gambling is permitted with certain restrictions. Gambling services are only allowed to be provided to gamers in special gambling zones. There are four operating today. The fifth, in Crimea, is at the design stage. Players can go to any casino opened in one of the IKRZs and have fun without breaking the law. It makes sense to talk about the four establishments that are considered the most famous.
Altai Palace
The casino opened in 2014 and is located in the gambling zone "Siberian coin". It is located 300 kilometers from the city of Barnaul. Over the six years of its existence, the owners have changed several times, which is the norm for the gambling business. Players from other regions can use the transfer services. The Gorno-Altaisk airport is located only 20 kilometers away, so getting to the casino is not difficult at all. It should be taken into account that the casino is allowed according to the dress code. You definitely won't be able to enter the club in shorts.
This is not the largest casino in Russia. There are just over 130 slot machines, about 10 tables with roulette, baccarat, blackjack, as well as a poker club and a VIP room. Slot machines are presented by such well-known companies as Novomatic, Igrosoft and Merkur. Players who have visited online casinos will find their favorite machines in Altai Palace. These are Book of Ra, Columbus Deluxe, Resident and many others.
Casino Sochi
Today, it is one of the most famous and largest land-based casinos in the Russian Federation, which operates in the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone. It opened in 2017. In order for the infrastructure created for the 2014 Olympic Games not to stand idle, the Russian government decided to open a gambling zone at the resort. The construction of the club cost 250 million rubles. The complex was designed by an architectural bureau that built several gambling establishments in Europe and the United States. The casino was created using the concept of the famous gambling houses of Las Vegas.
The club has almost 600 slot machines, 70 tables (roulette of different types, baccarat, blackjack, etc.). For high rollers, Casino Sochi has 7 VIP rooms. For visiting players, there are two five-star hotels. From one of them (Marriott), you can get to the casino via a specially built passage. There is a dress code in the club, but it is not very strict. All payments in the casino are made using a special guest card. Regularly held shows make your stay in the club more varied and exciting.
Casino Sobranie
The Sobranie Club is the main establishment of the Yantarnaya gambling zone, which is located in the Kaliningrad region. Today, this casino is considered one of the largest in Europe. The club was opened in 2017. Since before that, only a small hall with slot machines operated in the gambling zone, the opening of a full-fledged casino was a very significant event. The entire project cost investors a gigantic sum - more than 3.5 billion rubles.
The casino has over 350 slot machines and about 15 tables with blackjack, roulette, poker and other games. Performances by Russian and foreign stars in shows are the signature feature of the establishment, which attracts new gamblers. There is no operating hotel at the casino, but several hotels have entered into partnership agreements with the club. Taxis that deliver players to the casino from the hotel and back are always nearby. In some cases, the fare can be paid by the casino administration. You can play in the club in the internal currency UE (1 UE: 50 rubles). All players are given a special guest card, which is used for settlements and personal identification.
Tigre de Cristal Casino
The club, located in the Primorye gambling zone, was opened in 2015. The casino is located in the city of Artem, not far from Vladivostok (50 kilometers). $200 million was spent on the construction of the gambling establishment. Despite the proximity of the famous establishments of Macau, the owners of the Russian casino are betting on tourists from Asia (China, Japan, South Korea). The casino operates as part of a complex that includes restaurants, bars, and a hotel. The casino uses its own currency TDC. One unit is equivalent to 60 rubles.
The gaming halls have 200 machines and more than 40 tables for card and table games. The casino also has VIP rooms, which also have machines and tables. The manufacturers of the machines are well-known companies (Igrosoft, Novomatic, Merkur, Atronik, Belatra). Regular visitors become members of the loyalty program and receive additional privileges in accordance with their status.
