The legalization of the gambling business in Ukraine has turned the country’s gambling industry upside down. Now new establishments are regularly opening, the client audience is expanding, new offers are constantly appearing, foreign companies are actively “entering” the Ukrainian market. There are land-based gambling establishments in many cities of Ukraine, and now it is the turn of Kharkiv, on the territory of which the licensed company Shangri La, owned by Storm International (Darren Keane is CEO), began to operate.
The gambling industry in Ukraine is developing by leaps and bounds. New units in hotels regularly appear. Many do not know about it yet, since casino advertising is prohibited in Ukraine. However, large companies that open their licensed complexes are so famous that information is distributed without traditional advertising. Thus, Storm International, before starting work in Kharkiv, opened the Shangri La Kyiv casino. It became the first licensed casino in Ukraine. After that, several more places from other operators were opened.
Land-based casinos try to attract the attention of customers with an unusual atmosphere, a large assortment of games and an individual approach to everyone. And although Shangri La, a new member of the gambling market in Kharkiv, has no competitors yet, its creators are already working for their reputation, creating all the conditions for a comfortable and exciting game.
What is known about the first Kharkiv gambling establishment
It is located in the five-star Kharkiv Palace 5* hotel in a hall that, according to the original design of the building, is intended for such purposes. At the moment, the casino has several rooms with 20 tables where you can play classic card games, including American roulette, blackjack, and various types of poker. There are also 70 modern licensed slots from the world’s best providers, including Novomatic, EGT, Scientific games and IGT. The entrance fee is $100 in exchange for chips (you can pay in hryvnia at the current NBU exchange rate).
Michael Boettcher, theShangri La and Storm Internationalfounder, told the media that the investment that was directed to the arrangement of this institution amounted to about $10 million. The casino, which began operations on December 5, 2022, has created 300 jobs.
