In view of the fact, that all land gambling venues have recently been pushed out of the major cities in Russia, it might become rather hard now for the online casinos to enter the Russian market. To say more, the Russian Government is going to crack down on the prevalence and influence of gambling in the country. Thus, recently, the Russian Ministry of Youth, Sport and Tourism has announced that poker is not classified as a game of sport in the country any more which will definitely lead to the fact that the internet poker industry, like the land casinos, will be pushed out of major cities.
