[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

Landlocked Kazakhstan has lasted as a mystery to the western traveler for ages, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. A number of outsiders have acquainted themselves with the appeal of this central Asian country, apart from the merchants who plied the Silk Road. Still, seeing that Kazakhstan obtained its independence in 1991 and specially under the insightful and benevolent presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has developed. As the nation blossoms, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil capital, it’s boom time in the playing businesses of this passed soviet republic. There are seven cities that have within them legal casino provisions of which there are precisely twenty-eight such locations. Definitely if you are eager for a gamble, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only gaming operations allowed there.

Most acclaimed to the dedicated casino player should be the previous capital as well as the greatest city in the country, Almaty, that evident Las Vegas of central Asia, flaunting no less than eighteen casinos and counting. With a climbing 9% boost annually, the Kazakh economy has enhanced exceptionally in the last 10 years and with it the Kazakh craze for the wagering tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is not recognizable from its preceding duration as the principal city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought enchantment and of course fascination to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s greatest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this exceptional Kazakhstan casino hotel can hold twenty six games tables and 93 gaming machines.

What’s more, the frenzy for online poker has not gone disregarded in Kazakhstan casinos with the advancement of video poker swiftly becoming a crowd pleaser. Outside of Almaty, the invincible casino player is also served; for example, the capital Astana has five casinos, the chief one amongst them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that holds not 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, anyway, that the Kazakh favoritism for the green baize and clink of chips isn’t stated, since the vice-foreign minister recently visited Macao along with Hong Kong. The visit was certified to be a "short but fruitful" trip created to study the gambling businesses of these towns and impel preference in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino business. In reality, a probable direct air link has been credited between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which may raise desire for this once charismatic place soon set to become the desire of the elite.
