Culture and history

Latvian traditions of gambling entertainment consisted of home card games and lotteries, later - Soviet sweepstakes and state lotteries.

After 1991, offline lounges and casinos became part of Riga's urban nightlife and resorts, and with the spread of the Internet, interest in online slots and live games grew.

The European cultural agenda has shifted its focus to responsible play: self-exclusion, advertising restrictions, risk communication.

Municipal politics is an important element of urban identity: it regulates the neighborhood of gaming halls with residential neighborhoods, maintaining a balance between the entertainment industry, tourism and social well-being.
