Czechs must love gambling. Back in 2007, Czechs bet 90 billion crowns (+$4 billion). The country has around 130 casinos. There are +50,000 slot machines in the ČR. That's about 1 machine for every 200 people.
In addition to the casinos, there are lots of herna bars that you find all over the place. A herna bar is a non-stop place where you can go play slot machines and roulette while drinking cheap beer.I haven't actually been inside of one yet but from the outside they either look seedy or totally cheesy. I can just picture middle-aged alcoholics drinking, while sitting in a smoke-filled room, and gambling away their hard-earned wages.
Don't get me wrong! I love to visit Las Vegas and I do enjoy my blackjack. But, I doubt that the inside of a herna bar will remind me too much of Vegas. But who knows?
