Holiday in Pafos: where to go and what to see?
Everyone has heard about the Greek resorts, and many of our compatriots had the opportunity to relax in Cyprus. Still, few know that back in 1991, business people began building these resort casinos. At that time, casinos were not banned in many countries, growing like mushrooms after the rain. So starting people in business, not finding an empty niche, moved the casinos to Cyprus.
Above all, foreign business people were interested in the local laws of Greece, which allowed for unlimited action, so every other oligarch and the successful business person considered it his duty to build a shop or a fashionable hotel in a picturesque corner. But, as you may know, casinos are illegal in Cyprus.
Underground clubs
The owners of the gambling clubs in Cyprus, who failed to reach an agreement with the authorities and failed to launch a new casino in the country, are downloading money from gamblers through illegal games. This negative trend was discussed at a parliamentary meeting, and the minister of justice was told to urgently put this segment in order. However, there is still no visible change, and many unofficial clubs in Paphos can be found by sophisticated tourists.
One of the officials recalled a famous Cypriot case where several owners transferred ownership to some virtual casino. The property immediately changed several owners, making it impossible to sort out the tangled issue.
Incidents like these have alarmed law enforcement agencies, with reporters reporting that, at the moment, there is a full-blown war between mafias and criminal gangs who divide spheres of influence. They make billions from illegal casinos in Pafos and don't pay taxes.
Other Greek politicians say that the police turn a blind eye and have long since allowed casinos to operate. Be that as it may, today, every tourist has the opportunity to play in a casino in Paphos, even though it is illegal. That said, there are always legal online casinos open for gamblers - you can choose from them on this website. And the fact that the police do not interfere in the affairs of underground tycoons, it is clear that there are involved high ranks and influential people. It is true that after a meeting of the Greek Parliament, the chief police officer of the country ranted and raved and said that he would immediately carry out checks. If there is a fact of illegal casinos in Cyprus, then soon there will be none.
