      MOSCOW, July 1 – Thousands of casinos and slot-machine parlors across Russia were outlawed Wednesday as new restrictions on gambling took effect, shutting down an industry that had come to embody the seedier side of capitalism in the post-Soviet era.

But none of the planned resorts have been developed, and the prohibition could put hundreds of thousands out of work during an economic crisis that has caused a sharp rise in unemployment.

      When Putin first proposed the sweeping ban, burnishing his populist image as a tough leader battling corruption and vice, many wondered whether he could follow through on his campaign against a business he portrayed as a breeding ground for money laundering, organized crime and destructive addiction.
