Casino’s story is one of success despite the odds. Russian casinos began to flourish in the nineties but as the millennium kicked in they became prolific. As of 2002, Russia was host to 58 casinos (30 in Moscow alone), 2,000 gambling parlours and as many as 70,000 slot machines that were loosely regulated and beginning to cause social problems. The Russian government, led by Vladimir Putin, identified this and acted decisively.

While US gaming groups are focusing on placing their bids for the upcoming Integrated Resort (IR) in Japan, one outlier, to name Hard Rock Casinos, is looking to position itself in the Spanish market.

With the results for the gambling industry in the country consistently improving since 2008, Hard Rock Casinos may be up to a very lucrative investment. The proposed €2 billion project Hard Rock Entertainment World was approved in May 2018.
