Особенности организации и размещения игорных зон в различных странах мира

Abstract

The features of the organization and spatial placement of gambling zones in various countries of the world are considered. It is noted that this process (prohibition, restriction or widespread permission) is primarily influenced by the cultural characteristics of the population, which translates into the attitude of the authorities and administration in certain states towards the gambling business. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the states on this issue are divided according to civilization. In countries where Islam is the dominant religion, gambling is, as a rule, prohibited (although betting on races and dog fights is allowed). In countries belonging to the orbit of the Anglo-Saxon world (the vast majority of countries in America, Africa, Europe, Australia and Oceania), gambling is allowed everywhere, with some restrictions. In the monarchies of the East, gambling is allowed for foreigners, but the local population is prohibited from playing. In Russia, non-Islamic Asia (Orthodoxy, world oriental religions), measures have been taken to restrict the gambling business - it is allowed only in specially designated areas - gambling zones. This suggests a conclusion about the need for a compromise between society, government bodies and business when organizing these zones in the Russian Federation. At the same, it is worth taking into account and adapting foreign experience to Russian conditions.
