Latvia may still be developing as a nation, but this country's gaming industry has really taken off in the past ten years. In the past, Latvia was until strict communist rule, and gambling was banned.

In 1965, even horseracing was deemed illegal in this country. After Latvia gained its independence over 15 years ago, though, gambling once again became legal. The first casino opened in Latvia in 1991.

When gambling first started in Latvia, there were few laws regulating it. However, that is changed, in part to help control crime and in part to ensure that casinos are treating their customers fairly. In 1994, the government passed laws, making casinos and other forms of gaming easier to control, and later in 1995, Latvia passed the Gambling and Lotteries Law, which even more tightly secured regulations on casinos. This made the entire industry more transparent, and less susceptible to fraud and crime.

Today, the 15+ casinos in Latvia gross over 145 million Euro, and there are choices for everyone. Most of Latvia's gamblers are people who live in the country, but they've reported that about 20% are foreigners, some of which are tourists who travel to Latvia specifically to gamble. This high statistic is due in part to the fact that many of the casinos in the city of Riga are in hotels. However, there are casinos of all shapes and sizes in this country, so whether you want a fancy, formal-dress-required experience, or a laid-back and casual experience, you can find a casino that works for you in Latvia.
