Russia’s Primorye gaming zone has given the green light to another casino operator planting its flag on the country’s far east shores.

On Tuesday, the state-owned Development Corporation of the Primorsky Territory announced that it had given its blessing to Russian gaming operator CJSC Shambala building a resort casino project in the gaming zone outside Vladivostok.

The announcement comes just one day after a Development Corporation spokesperson claimed that it had yet to receive any concrete commitments from casino operators interested in participating in the auction for four vacant Primorye land plots that is scheduled for this Thursday.

CJSC Shambala currently operates the Shambala casino in the Azov-City gaming zone in Krasnodar Krai, a federal district in the North Caucus region of Southern Russia. But the Azov-City gaming zone has been ordered to close by January 1, 2019 in order that the new gaming zone in the Sochi area can open.
