The Russian government plans to develop a resort on the coast of the Azov Sea, where the gambling zone is located. It must be noted that a gambling zone “Krasnaya Polyana” was created in Sochi after the Winter Olympics.

According to the law, a single region can host only one gambling zone. That is why the government decided to close the gambling zone in “Azov-City.”
