This country is actually making the right move by seeing gambling as a way to help boost the economy. Contrary to what others think that gambling only destroys lives, if this plan really gets realized it could actually improve lives by creating jobs.
And from the looks of it, the goal is to boost tourism, meaning the target isn’t really the locals. Their pockets won’t be the ones getting hurt, while the country still benefits from job creation and added economic activity.
Kazakhstan is proceeding with a high-profile development plan for the establishment of new gambling zones across several of its regions, in an effort to enhance local economies and draw visitors. According to a statement by Minister of Tourism and Sports Yerbol Myrzabosynov, the government will establish controlled casino regions within Mangystau, Almaty, East Kazakhstan, and Zhetysu. This development constitutes one of the most significant shifts in the country’s policy on gaming thus far, adding new destinations to the already existing legal enclaves at Borovoye and Kapchagay, with the goal of giving a fresh boost to the national tourism sector.
On some places or popular ones then yes but if not then locals will be the primary players of the said venue but of course it will be depending on the location or country because we do know that there are indeed places in the world which are considered 1st to 3rd world countries on which you can say that there are people who can be able to play into these places. Yes, gambling business could really be having that kind of benefit from taxes, to create jobs and that would be that a very beneficial thing but if it turned out that most locals are the most costumers then we can say that it is on the negative side. Actually it would be depending into the government on how they would be having that restriction and control on which we say that it would be that relevant if we do speak about the safety of its citizens but actually this is just depending on a certain individual because we do know that playing gambling is really that on someones personal choice.
