The first casino has opened in the Yantarnaya gambling zone in Russia.
Named the Sobranie, the facility has been operating in “technical mode" and open 24 hours a day, but decoration work is still under way. Yantarnaya, which is located in Russia’s westernmost Kaliningrad region, is planning to host 15 casinos, 21 hotels, a water park, theatre, stadiums, concert halls, spa salons and shops when completed.
The first facility in the gambling zone was slot machine hall Magic Crystal, which opened in April 2016. Last week, the regional authorities issued a gaming licence for operating in the Yantarnaya gambling zone to a Russian company, Uni Gaming.
