The Ukrainian gambling regulator (KRAIL) officially announced the issuance of permits to two Kyiv hotels, according to which halls of slot machines can be located on the territory of the objects. These companies are OOO LD-Perspektiva and OOO Hotel Property. All supporting documentation is posted on the official website of the Supervision Commission.

According to the decision of the department, 313 sq. m. of the basement of the three-star metropolitan hotel "Rus" "LD-Perspektiva" has the right to organize a slot machine hall or open a sports betting center within the framework of the current gambling legislation of Ukraine.

By the same permission, Hotel Property intends to place a betting office or a room with slot machines on the ground floor and basement of the Lybid Hotel.

Important It should be noted that CRAIL was forced to deny Hotel Management permission to open a land-based gambling facility in the five-star InterContinental Hotel. The regulator announced that it made a decision to refuse due to the inconsistency of the technical passport of the premises, as it does not meet the established requirements.
