Land-based casinos

There are no legal land casinos in Syria: the legislation does not provide for licenses for gaming tables and machine rooms, and attempts at clandestine activities are suppressed by law enforcement agencies - equipment is confiscated, premises are closed, organizers face fines and prison terms.

Hotels and entertainment venues are prohibited from hosting gambling; age and other "regulatory" norms do not apply due to absolute prohibition.

If possible, part of effective demand goes to neighboring jurisdictions, where casinos are allowed, but there is no offline infrastructure within the country.
