Gambling Opportunities in Uruguay
Gambling has been a popular sport for many years. The excitement of predicting the outcome of a game is something that has attracted the gambler’s eye ever since the first introduction of casino games like roulette and poker. The earlier forms of casino games differ quite from the casino games that we know today. For example, roulette has various versions of the game, the most recognizable being the European and the American version. Today, the internet offers many possibilities, and gambling enthusiasts can now enjoy a high-quality gambling experience in the comfort of their own homes.
Recently, Latin America has been of interest to the gambling industry. Many new casinos are opened and the interest in gambling is definitely on the rise. One of these countries where gambling is catching attention is Uruguay. The president of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle Pou, proposed new measures to fight the financial crisis by opening new resorts in the Rocha and Canelones region.

According to Louis Gama, the head of the National Directorate of Lotteries and Quinielas of Uruguay, the situation with the gambling industry in Uruguay can easily escalate like the one in Brazil at the moment. The aim of the casino resorts is to attract new tourists from Uruguay and Argentina. “We must not be oblivious to the developments that are taking place in our neighboring countries, especially the gambling legalization in Brazil. We should analyze the impact that it has in Uruguay and come up with policies to retain those players,” is what Gama said about the recent gambling situation in Uruguay.
However, gambling is still an interesting sport in Uruguay, and casinos are visited by gambling enthusiasts from the country and the region, or they also enjoy gambling online on this site. Here is some recent news from the newly-opened land-based casinos in Uruguay’s capital that you should consider visiting when you live in the country or plan a trip to Uruguay.
