Casino Life talks to Anton Kuchukhidze, Chairman of the Ukrainian Gambling Council

For almost a year, the gambling business in Ukraine and the West was expecting progress on the taxation issues, and it finally happened. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported draft law 2713-d in the first reading.

Shangri La is the first foreign-licensed casino in Ukraine and we are pleased to announce that our brand remains the market leader not only in registration primacy, but also in high-class service standards.
