Sri Lanka’s parliament today voted to approve a bill to legalize gambling, a move that may attract casino developers eager to profit from tourists flocking to the island after the end of its civil war.
The Gaming Special Provisions Bill will “provide for the designation of areas in which persons interested to start the business of gaming can set up their establishments,” according to the legislature’s website.
