The Commission on Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries of Ukraine (CRAIL) decided to issue a permit to Campus Plus LLC » for casino accommodation on the territory of the 4-star Premier Hotel Palazzo in the city of Poltava. The relevant document is posted on the official website of the regulator.

According to the act, the Poltava casino will be located on the basement and first floors of the hotel complex. CRAIL allocated an area of ​​711.1 square meters for refurbishment. It is noteworthy, but Campus Plus LLC will actively deal only with the placement of a gambling facility. His organization will fall on the shoulders of another company, whose name has not yet been disclosed.

Ukrainian media unanimously assert that it is Poltava that will become the third city in the country where, after the official legalization of the gambling business, a land-based casino will be opened. Elena Korshun, the owner and director of Campus Plus, commented on this information.

In an interview with Poltava journalists, she said: “Commercial secret does not allow me to name the organizer of the casino. But this is a well-known and very influential company founded by Ukrainian businessmen. I can confirm that the recruitment and training process has already begun. The priority date for the opening of the discussed gambling establishment is scheduled for June-July of this year.”

Korshun did not disregard the financial side of the promising project: “The casino should direct UAH 180 million to the budget for the corresponding license for five years. Exactly half of this amount will go to the city treasury, since the hotel is registered in Poltava and pays taxes here. This year, the owners of the facility will pay the city UAH 18 million.”

Note that the first two casinos in Ukraine will soon begin to receive visitors in Odessa and Lvov. Their organizers, Nebula Games and Primum, have already paid for their annual licenses (UAH 36 million each).
