The project for creating a gambling area in the Altai region, under the catchy name "Siberian Coin," was developed in 2009. An impressive area exceeding 2,300 ha was allocated in the Altai region specifically for this purpose. It is located approximately 300 kilometers west of Barnaul, which is an economic zone for tourism and recreation.
Brief History
Initially, it was stated that hotels, concert halls, ski resorts, equestrian arenas, and, most importantly for our readers, a network of first-class casinos would be established there. The Kemerovo Company "Alti" addressed the issue, and "RTG-Siberia" from the "Royal Time Group" joined the project in the autumn of 2014.
The first investor announced the opening of the Altai Palace Casino in the middle of summer 2014, but the difficult construction conditions forced a delay in the opening until autumn. Problems arose due to the great distances involved in installing electrical equipment, laying a new water supply pipe, and laying the gas line. In addition, according to Nicholas Burmistrov, the company's director, it was challenging to attract banks to the project, which invests cautiously in the gambling business.
However, despite the many obstacles and unexpected difficulties, the Altai Palace Casino was opened on November 1, 2014.
Description of the Altai Palace
The new establishment, operated under the control of Roman Spodyrev, offers fifteen gambling tables in the main hall and three separate rooms for VIP clients. A few dozen slot machines will also be available. Subsequently, the number of tables may be increased.
Initially, the casino will offer minimum betting limits. Bets for slot machines will start at one ruble, while for roulette, they will be from one dollar. Ante bets, starting from five dollars, will be available for poker.
The activities of the Altai Palace Casino fully comply with the requirements of the Russian Federation's legislation. The establishment pays a tax rate of one hundred thousand rubles per month from each table. Besides, all employees work legally.
Additional Services
In addition to the casino, the entertainment center of Altai Palace features a restaurant, spa, gym, several bars, a beauty salon, and even a business center.
Interestingly, the establishment launches charter flights from the five largest cities in Siberia: Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, and Krasnoyarsk. One flight can deliver up to forty-five passengers.
Moreover, it concerns not only delivering clients, but also full-featured analogues of the so-called junket tours. The visitor purchases a ticket, makes a deposit, and receives a package of free services in return: a round-trip ticket, transfers, accommodation, and meals.
If organizers can implement this offer at a high level, there is no doubt that many high rollers will take advantage of this attractive opportunity.
