Games and slots

The basic law lists the allowed formats: casino games, slot clubs/VLT, betting bets, bingo/keno and lotteries (state monopoly on the lottery).

This forms the product matrix of the market.

A large layer of slots was provided by National Video Lottery (JV with Casinos Austria): according to the operator, the network deployed ≈4 500 VLT in more than 800 locations across the country.

In parallel, casinos in Gevgelia (Flamingo, Princess, etc.) offer hundreds of slots and tables - roulette, blackjack, poker, etc.

Since 2024, there is a tightening: at least 500 m from schools, an increase in fees and restriction of advertising; some of the online permissions have been revoked, and the 2win platform. mk stopped taking bets (01. 10. 2024).

This shifts demand to the offline segment and strengthens control over the slot halls.

Additionally, the authorities block illegal online sites.
