The gambling and slot machine industry has taken off in Russia and as a result the Russian government is quickly trying to enact legislation that will still allow the gambling and slot machine industry to positively affect the economy, while limiting the negative affects casinos can have on neighborhoods and communities.

Both of the bills seek to place restrictions and limitation on the gambling and slot machine industry. Only one of the bills, however, has the support and lobbying pressure from the gambling and slot machine industry. The initial bill had lawmakers hesitant to approve it

Vladimir Putin was submitting a competing bill, the Russian parliament

industry. Below are a few of the restrictions the proposed bill will require
of the gambling and slot machine industry as of July 1, 2007 if the bill
