The Armenian government has revoked the operating permit of the nation’s largest casino as a political spat between the ruling party and opposition factions deepens.
Armenia’s Ministry of Economy has taken the decision to revoke the license of the Shangri La Casino following an on-site inspection in March 2026 that uncovered irregularities. The ministry cited financial discrepancies and violations as reasons for the permit revocation, amid escalating tensions between political groups in the country.
The move to shut down the biggest casino in Armenia comes amidst a backdrop of political turmoil, with the government and opposition at odds over various issues, leading to the latest development in the closure of the Shangri La Casino.
