No problems for Kyiv authorities with placement of gambling businesses outside city
May 16 at 09:33 | Interfax-Ukraine"Everybody who needs [gambling centers] will remove them [from the city], and you won't even see that. They will find their own Las Vegas [the gambling capital of the United States] elsewhere, because this is big money, and nobody will give it up," the administration's first deputy head, Anatoliy Holubchenko, said on Friday, while commenting on the Ukrainian parliament's decision to ban the gambling business in the country.
As reported, the parliament passed on Friday a law banning the operation of gambling businesses and participation in gaming.
The law comes into effect from the moment it is published and is in effect until a special law foreseeing the right to run gambling business in specially created zones is approved.
The issue of licenses for the organization of gambling in Ukraine will stop when the law comes into effect. According to the law, licenses issued to economic entities before the law came into effect are cancelled.
The law foresees a fine of 8,000 minimum wages with confiscation of gambling equipment for violations of the law. Revenues from gambling games would be sent to the budget.
According to the document, lotteries, billiards, bowling and other games that do not foresee prizes are not considered gambling.
The law instructs the Ukrainian cabinet to draw up within three months a special law on the gambling business in Ukraine and special territories where gambling activities would be permitted.
