'After the federal law on the state regulation over the gambling activity has come into force on July 1, 2007, most of Yekaterinburg’s amusement arcades and gambling houses have been undergoing inspection conducted by Sverdlovsk Region public prosecution bodies,’ head of the Public Services Committee under the city council Oleg Neifild said to a UrBC reporter.

'Over the last three days, 30 amusement arcades have been proved not to comply with the federal legislation, with eighteen of them located in Zheleznodorozhniy district of Yekaterinburg,’ Mr. Neifild said.
