Russian government officials said there's a rise of "surrogate" gambling technologies, comparable to lottery machines and Internet gambling, three months after some restrictions were imposed on the industry.
"We are seriously serious about the upward push of surrogate technologies," Moscow deputy mayor Sergei Baidakov said during a media briefing.
The deputy mayor said nearly a 3rd of Moscow's 525 casinos and slot machine halls have opened "lottery parlors" to sell instant lottery tickets, whilst the selection of Internet cafes providing access to online gambling resources has risen thrice since July.
Since July 1, gambling was confined to four special zones.
Government threats to clamp down on gambling began in 2006 under then-president Vladimir Putin. Putin is now the Russian prime minister, but, the previous KGB operative is thought to run the government, nonetheless.
Deputy mayor Baidakov said the budget had suffered little from the disappearance of gambling, with tax revenues down 0.5 percent.
"It's nil,” he said.
