• Casinos in Kazakhstan

    [ English ]

    Landlocked Kazakhstan has been left a mystery to the western traveler for hundreds of years, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. A number of outsiders have experienced the appeal of this central Asian country, other than the merchandisers who plied the Silk Road. But, seeing that Kazakhstan gained its independence in 1991 and specially under the astute and favorable presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has grown. As the nation blooms, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil currency, it’s boom time in the gaming enterprises of this former soviet republic. There are 7 cities that have amidst them legal casino faculties of which there are specifically twenty-eight such spots. Actually if you are ready for a gamble, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only betting operations justified there.

    Most crucial to the dedicated gambler would be the long-time capital and biggest city in the country, Almaty, that evident Las Vegas of central Asia, boasting no less than eighteen casinos and counting. With a rising 9 per cent enhancement each year, the Kazakh economy has grown exceptionally in the last decade and with it the Kazakh craving for the casino tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is invisible from its previous existence as the principal city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought elegance and of course anticipation to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s greatest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this fabulous Kazakhstan casino hotel can hold 26 games tables and 93 slot machines.

    What’s more, the infatuation for on-line poker hasn’t gone overlooked in Kazakhstan casinos with the advancement of video poker swiftly becoming a favorite. Outside of Almaty, the high-spirited gamer is also served; for example, the capital Astana has five casinos, the premium one in the midst of them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that delights in no less than 20 card tables. If that is not nearly enough for you, casinos are also further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, as well as Ust-kamenogorsk. It is obvious, in any case, that the Kazakh delight for the green baize and clink of chips isn’t stated, since the vice-foreign minister recently visited Macao as well as Hong Kong. The visit was considered to be a "short but fruitful" trip put together to study the wagering market of these towns and arouse favor in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino business. Certainly, a likely direct air link has been publicized between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which may raise eagerness for this once charismatic place soon set to become the choice of the cream of society.
