A brief description of Ireland

Ireland is a state in Northern Europe, which is located on most of the island of the same name. The capital is Dublin. The currency unit is the euro.

During the past 20 years, Ireland has experienced economic decline associated with the global crisis. In 2010 the banks, real estate and the budget of the country suffered greatly - Ireland had to borrow from the IMF.

The key sectors of the economy - pharmaceuticals, medicine, engineering, information and computer technology, as well as the food industry. Now Ireland is gradually recovering from the effects of the crisis, not least because it is a profitable offshore zone

A brief overview of gambling in Ireland

Gambling has been legalized in Ireland since 1931. Now there are about 20 casinos or private gambling clubs in the country. The biggest gambling city is Dublin. It has the largest number of gambling entertainment establishments.

In 2016, there are more than 900 betting shops, 122 arcade sites, and more than 10,000 slot machines.

The Gaming and Lotteries Act, passed in 1956, banned gambling, but it had loopholes that allowed casinos to be run as private clubs. That's why, to this day, small-sized establishments still operate in Ireland. For example, the largest establishment Emerald Casino - Clondalkin Q's contains 8 card game tables, 20 poker tables, 200 slot machines and video poker machines.
