According to Russian news agency RAPSI, Russian president Vladimir Putin has approved land based gambling in Crimea.
The new decree applies to certain areas of Crimea and Kuban adding to the four current areas where gambling is allowed.
Gambling was not legal in Crimea before it joined Russia earlier in the year.
Regional officials are now left to determine development limits and locations for casinos despite some resistance on the part of investors to finance a Las Vegas style resort on the subtropical southern shore near Yalta and Alushta.

Another carefully chosen priority by Putin. . Crimea is already a resort destination, prime real estate for the seizing. Lets not forget Sochi, the 50 billion dollar, Winter Olympics vacancy, looking for a new gig. Ready to embrace a couple of new gambling complexes as soon as Putin can get some foreign investors, developers...
