[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

Landlocked Kazakhstan has been left a mystery to the western traveler for ages, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. Some outsiders have been enlightened on the fascination of this central Asian country, apart from the merchandisers who plied the Silk Road. However, because Kazakhstan acquired its independence in 1991 and particularly under the intelligent and benevolent presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has flourished. As the nation blossoms, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil currency, it’s boom time in the games establishments of this prior soviet republic. There are 7 cities that have amidst them legal casino accommodations of which there are specifically 28 such spots. Indeed if you are aspiring for a gamble, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only casino operations at liberty there.

Most acclaimed to the devoted gambler would be the long-time capital and also exorbitant city in the area, Almaty, that realistic Las Vegas of central Asia, claiming no less than eighteen casinos and counting. With an elevating nine percent development each year, the Kazakh economy has extended greatly in the last 10 years and with it the Kazakh demand for the casino tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is shielded from its previous status as the chief city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought elegance along with thrill to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s biggest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this amazing Kazakhstan casino hotel can hold 26 games tables and ninety-three slots.

What’s more, the fad for Internet poker has not gone overlooked in Kazakhstan casinos with the advancement of video poker quickly becoming a crowd pleaser. Outside of Almaty, the fearless gamer is also served; e.g., the capital Astana has 5 casinos, the ace one amidst them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that enjoys definitely no less than 20 card tables. If that isn’t enough for you, casinos are in fact located further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, along with Ust-kamenogorsk. It is very clear, then, that the Kazakh favoritism for the green baize and clink of chips is not stated, because the vice-foreign minister a short time ago visited Macao and Hong Kong. The visit was announced to be a "short but fruitful" trip designed to study the gaming resources of these towns and instigate favor in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino industry. In reality, a likely direct air link has been credited between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which would elevate desire for this once charismatic place soon set to become the pick of the right people.
