For the Leonid Chernovetsky, the mayor of Kyiv, the
legalization of slot machines in the city could really actually help the
gambling addictions and other societal ills the city suffers. Currently, the
mayor admits that the city has many illegal slot machines and gambling
operations and that these activities currently have very negative influence
on the citizens and the crime rates.
But now, Chernovetsky’s plan is allow slot machines and gambling in legal
facilities where the mayor can then regulate the practices of the
establishment. Though some residents may have a hard time distinguishing the
legal slot machines and gambling from illegal slots, the mayor feels that in
time, the city can crack down and nearly eliminate the negatives associated
with gambling through regulation.
Another key part of legalizing the slot machines considering they already
operate within the city: the city can then claim a portion of the slot
machines revenue to help off-set the costs of legalizing the machines.
Chernovetsky went on to elaborate why he felt it was so important to
regulate the gambling and slot machines. The new plan and facilities will
bring an order to the city’s gaming and regulations can then “systemize” the
locations and operations of the casinos and facilities. All in all, once
Chernovetsky enacts all of his planned regulations on the slot machines, the
city will have a much more manageable and profitable system in place.
