Another story from the BBC:

Gamblers in Moscow and other major Russian cities are placing their last bets ahead of a government ban on casinos and gaming halls.

A new law comes into effect at midnight, confining gambling to four regions far from the capital.

It bans gambling on the internet and at airports, supermarkets and other sites.

But critics say the move will leave more than 300,000 people without jobs and push the industry underground, amid a continuing economic crisis in Russia.
