Thousands of casino
slot-machine parlors and betting halls across Russia
shut down Wednesday
complying with sweeping new restrictions
that require all gambling business to relocate
to four remote regions of the country
The law
was estimated to put than 400,000 people out of work
at a time when Russia's economic crisis is deepening
and unemployment is rising
Russian TV said more than 40,000 workers
were affected in Moscow alone
Many experts say
the law will just drive gambling underground
and criminalize it even more than it already was
