The government in Prague, Czech Republic will place a gambling ban in September 2015 with the exception of hotel casinos in the city.
According to Radio.cz, the ANO Party, the Social Democrats and the three-way coalition of Greens, Christian Democrats and Mayors and Independents have agreed to the ban, which Prague Mayor Adriana Krnáčová announced this week.
Local land based gambling laws have yet to be officially amended but will result in the closure of the city’s gambling establishments except for hotel casinos.

I guess that is an awful news for many gamblers living in Prague, I guess the ban will be only for the land based casinos not online gambling but still... Like jade mentioned above, why hotel casinos are privileged? Looking like there are some interests at the highest level among the political parties in the country.

I guess that I would just like a little more information on this subject. If I lived here it would be different. Then I would know why they were closing all these casinos. And what about hotel casinos. Why are they the privileged ones that can remain open. Can anyone help me here..........
