Costa Rica’s
President-Elect is a Good Bet for Online
Gambling
Gamingzion.com
Costa Rica is a country where gamblers of
all denominations can feel right at home.
Gambling is explicitly legal and proves to
be a booming business within the country.
The small nation is home to 30 large casinos
and hundreds of other gambling
establishments.
Costa Rican gambling law permits just about
every form of gambling, including horse
racing, though the country has not had a
track in years. Though the gambling industry
seemed to be bounding on without limits, the
government has started putting more energy
into regulating it over the past few years.
Through gambling, the government has a great
opportunity to raise revenue and through
different regulations they can adjust their
intake. Up until this point, the industry’s
only concern was whether or not the
government will raise its taxes on gambling.
A new president, Laura Chinchilla, has been
elected in Costa Rica, but has a few months
before she will take office. President-Elect
Chinchilla is the first woman to be elected
president. Land-based casino operators are
not happy with the President-Elect due to
her open dislike of gambling facilities due
to their unfortunate relationship with
prostitution. Land-based casino can expect
stricter rulings and regulations from this
point on, through the new government.
Online gambling sites in Costa Rica,
however, have nothing to worry about.
President-Elect Chinchilla is highly
supportive of the online gambling industry
and all of the business that it brings to
the nation.
Online Casinos in Costa Rica are obviously
much cleaner than their land-based
counterparts when it comes to prostitution
due to the lack of a physical location. Many
online gambling havens are based in Costa
Rica and are accessed from all over the
world. Brick and mortar casinos also cater
to an international scene being that new
laws require casinos to be attached to large
hotels. |
