    Gambling and gambling can bring not only positive emotions, adrenaline, and drive to the players, but also an excellent profit to the owners of these assets! Gambling is considered one of the most profitable types of entrepreneurship; it constantly grows as a result of which entire cities devoted to gambling grow, whole gambling centers appear.

    The opening of not just casinos, but entire entertainment complexes, with hotels, shops and restaurants, where visitors can not only play, but also relax, as well as go shopping, is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. Such complexes attract many tourists, as well as bring a lot of money to the local budgets of countries and cities.

    The main peculiarities of gambling business in Europe

    It seems that at first glance, there are no special differences between the European casino and the world as a whole. However, this is not the case. In addition to the fact that each nation has its own national traditions, there is also a difference between European casinos and the ways of doing such a business compared to world orders and rules in this area.

    To begin with, it should be noted that in almost all of Europe, gambling is allowed in any city. Yes, there are such special zones that have long been considered a gaming paradise. In Europe, it is worth noting the well-known city of Monte Carlo, located in the Principality of Monaco. However, as already mentioned, this is not the only city where there is a casino. Casinos can be found in Paris and Brussels, and in Prague and in many other European cities.

    Another feature of the European gambling business, although not only European is that some even very large casinos do not belong to citizens of the countries where these casinos are located.

    European taxes for gambling business

    In general, in Europe, such a business as gambling, regardless of whether it is a casino or just a gaming site, that is, an online casino, all such business is under the scrutiny of the state and the control of tax authorities. This quite distinguishes the gambling business in Europe from the same gambling business in Asia ?? ? ??? ? ????? or the USA.

    By the way, regarding taxes. All European powers pay huge taxes on profits received from casinos. For example, last year the European Union received a little more than half from profits from casinos in European countries, that is, about 51.7 percent, which is quite a lot.

    Now a new law is being introduced, according to which all owners of European casinos will be required to pay a profit tax in the amount of a little over sixty percent.

    Offshore zones of Europe should be put on a special place in the European gambling business. This is especially good for owners of online casinos, which almost all went to offshore. Now many online casinos are registered in Cyprus, in Gibraltar, on the Isle of Man or in Malta. By the way, the famous PokerStars poker room is registered on the Isle of Man.

    What games are offered in European casinos?

    As for the casinos themselves, there are practically no features here. The casino also offers various games, both real and virtual. As for the preferences of local players, oddly enough, in France, French roulette is not very popular.

    In fairness, it is worth noting that in modern conditions, you can play the legendary slot machines, feel the spirit of excitement and get a dose of adrenaline without even leaving your own apartment! In the catalogue of online casinos, you will find such slot machines that Las Vegas or Paris did not even dream about! To all this, online gaming casinos are a great opportunity not only to play for free and hone their skills but also to break the jackpot.
