No matter what country you are in, I think that in the modern world it is very easy to bypass absolutely any ban on gambling.
For example, even if physical casinos are closed all over the country and they are monitored to make sure that no one can open them underground, players will always be able to turn on a VPN and go to an online casino to play absolutely calmly, and money can be withdrawn even in cryptocurrency, which can then be converted and there will be no problems with receiving a transfer for winnings on a card.
Many online bans and restrictions can indeed be bypassed with the help of vpn, but the nuance is that there are a number of countries in which this is provided, though absurd, but at the same time serious criminal responsibility. I think that no one wants to be fined or imprisoned just for playing slots.
