The newly created Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries in Ukraine has denied a casino licence to the Dnipro Hotel in Kyiv.

The authority said that the hotel’s paperwork included mistakes that meant a casino licence could not be granted. The paperwork included an error with the address provided, while there were several inconsistencies in the hotel floor plan…

According to reports, the hotel requested a casino licence in December, just months after the commission was set up by the Ukrainian Government. Last August, gambling in Ukraine was legalised and the regulatory body was formed to control the brand-new market.
