Primorsky Krai The New Gambling Hub
Primorsky Krai, which is located on the border of Russia with China, is calmly waiting for its chance to possibly become a gambling hub to rival Macau’s status. It is already a hub for both developers and gamblers. Several casinos have been built or are nearing completion, and the region is hoping to attract gamblers from Russia, China, Japan, and Korea.
Due to it’s good location, Primorsky Krai offers a much convenient trip than Macau does, which is at least eight hours away for those in northern China or Russia. Gamblers traveling to Primorsky Krai can expect a two- to three-hour trip from the minute they board an airline until dedicated limos whisk them to the casino. Primorsky Krai is bein located in the Primorye Integrated Entertainment Resort Zone, this being one out of five region’s where gambling is legal in Russia.
Tigre de Cristal
The first casino in the zone is Tigre de Cristal. Opened in late 2015 with Phase One of its operations completed, Phase Two is scheduled to open in 2022. The resort currently features a hotel, casino, and spa.
However, by the end of 2018, Tigre de Cristal will have two hotels — one four-star and one five-star luxury hotel for high rollers. In addition, the casino will have 1,300 slot machines, 110 gaming tables, and more than 125 VIP gaming tables for high rollers. A shopping mall, restaurants, additional nightclubs, and more spa space will be added. The total cost is estimated at $1 billion.
While Tigre de Cristal is the first casino in Primorsky Krai, it will be joined by as many as seven. The second casino in the area is currently in the planning and early building stages.
CJSC Shambala
CJSC Shambala was recently given the green light by the Russian government to begin construction of its nearly $150 million investment in the Primorsky Krai region. The new resort is expected to contain nearly 200,000 square feet of gaming and entertainment space.
Plans are to build a 270-room five-star hotel for high rollers, as well as a high-end gaming floor, with 500 slot machines and 50 gaming tables geared toward wealthy gamblers. Interestingly, the Shambala company owned a resort and casino in the Crimean Peninsula until it was closed after the Russian government took over the area in 2014.
At that time, each casino operating in the area was given $100 million for their losses, and the Russian government promised to consider awarding them a casino license in a new area if one became available. It is possible the granting of the license in Primorsky Krai is the fulfillment of that promise.
Naga
NagaCorp has become a major player in the region and has plans to build a casino of its own. First, the company has signed on to create a high-speed railway between Primorye and the northern Chinese city of Mudanjiang, which will allow gamblers to have quick access to the region’s casinos.
The railway is expected to cost the company $12 billion to build. In addition, the company is planning to build a casino in the area. Although plans at this time are still in the beginning stages, the company has projected to build a casino, again geared toward high rollers, that will rival the other casinos in the area either in the operating or planning phases. The company is also building a casino in Phnom Phen, Cambodia, as well. Its goal is to gain a large foothold in Asia.
With many casinos in the area in the planning stages, it is clear that Primorsky Krai is set to aggressively market itself as a gambling hub to rival the high-roller attractions of Macau.

Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, unleashes a thunderous new entry in its iconic Greek Gods series with Fortune of Olympus – an electrifying 7×7 cluster-pays slot charged with random multipliers, dynamic special bets, and a 10,000x max win.
Fortune of Olympus is the latest feature-packed addition to the industry-leading Gates of Olympus universe. The blockbuster slot delivers explosive action as clusters of 5-15+ matching symbols reward players with wins of up to 150x in the base game.
On any spin, mighty multiplier symbols worth 2x-500x can strike the grid. When multiple multipliers hit, their values combine and detonate into a single, supercharged payout at the end of the tumbling sequence.
Landing 4-7 scatter symbols triggers the bonus game, awarding 15-30 free spins. During this striking feature, every multiplier that appears is added to a growing total multiplier, which is applied to all subsequent wins in the round, building tension and potential with every spin.
Players in certain markets can also amplify the action with special bets. Ante bets boost the chance of triggering Free Spins or Super Free Spins. The two Super Spins options guarantee at least one multiplier on every spin, with the second raising the minimum multiplier value to 50x.
Those eager for instant power can jump straight into Free Spins or Super Free Spins via 100x or 500x bonus buys, with the latter ensuring all multipliers start from 5x and above.
Fortune of Olympus marks the triumphant return of Pragmatic Play’s legendary Zeus character, following the success of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter and Gates of Olympus 1000, and pushes the fan-favourite series into thrilling new territory.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Fortune of Olympus is a stunning addition to Pragmatic Play’s popular Greek Gods series and a distinctly different kind of outing for Zeus. Taking the iconic Gates of Olympus series in a thrilling new direction, this feature-rich slot delivers a standout experience with epic win potential.”
