Russia is trying an innovative move to fight gambling. They're paying actors to dress as tramps to sit outside casinos. They'll harass - I mean - explain to - passing customers that they used to be rich executives who became penniless when they got addicted to gambling.

The city council is expected to set up a special casting call to find suitable actors. Some may have to be musical to really fit the part

The move comes as fears grow that the city could be overrun with gambling addicts after a recent ruling by the Moscow Supreme court overturned a law that casinos could only be built outside the city.
