The gambling business is a big one and it is in the interest of most countries to take advantage of it. Revenue streams that are opened by this industry have the power to keep countries afloat during hard times and the citizens of an entire country can reap the benefits. However, this all depends on the demand for service.

That said, the situation regarding gambling in Serbia is a unique one. Whereas gambling is a booming industry and revenue builder elsewhere, it just lacks demand in Serbia. Serbian gambling laws are quite lax in the context of what they allow, but the industry as a whole is very regulated by the government.

Land-based casinos have been available in Serbia since the 1960’s, and completely controlled by the government since 1979. Most of these casinos only offer slot machines as casino gambling has, to this day, not caught on. Following the trends that are present in the worlds gambling industries nowadays, the Serb government has taken all the right steps to build revenue, the Serbs just aren’t a gambling people.

In the event that a Serbian national would like to gamble, his/her best bet for a good time would be at an online casino in Serbia. Serbian gambling law makes absolutely no reference to online gambling, however, the government doesn’t issue online gambling licenses either.

There are a few online casinos hosted elsewhere that provide play in Serbian. These sites are also state of the art and easy to navigate and use. It’s not likely that internet gambling in Serbia will be a huge trend as there’s a lack of demand, but the sites that Serbs can use will provide players with a good time.
