Casinosare found all over the world, in most countries. Even countries such as Russia and Venezuela that formerly prohibited casinosfor political or religious reasons now allow them. Presently there are more casinos on Red Square in Moscowthan there are in Atlantic City, the second most successful gaming venue in the world. This lucrative in- dustry has lured many a reluctant local, state, or national government to include casinos in its economic development plans.
