Those interested in enjoying the world’s most popular card game should know that they can do so at Belgrade’s most noteworthy casino. Thus, the country now boasts an active digital gaming sphere that complements its two land-based establishments. It dismantled the online monopoly of the State Lottery and even allowed foreign operators to apply for gambling licenses in Serbia. In 2004, Serbia made internet gambling legal, and in 2011, a new law further liberated this sector. Of course, that policy has since changed. That was a situation similar to the current one in many African countries. However, the first casino that got opened in the 1960s in Belgrade only allowed entry to foreigners.

This activity first got regulated post-WW II as a way to stimulate Yugoslavia’s post-war economy. While Serbia may be known to the world for its ski resorts, orthodox monasteries, and soviet-style architecture, what few are aware of regarding the largest country of former Yugoslavia, is that it holds a pretty liberal stance when it comes to gambling.
