Casinos in Kazakhstan
Landlocked Kazakhstan has prolonged to be a mystery to the western traveler for generations, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. A handful of outsiders have experienced the appeal of this central Asian country, other than the merchants who plied the Silk Road. Yet, since Kazakhstan gained its independence in 1991 and above all under the farsighted and noble presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has progressed. As the nation develops, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil revenue, it’s boom time in the wagering businesses of this former soviet republic. There are seven cities that have amid them legal casino accommodations of which there are for certain 28 such venues. Actually if you are craving for a challenge, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only gambling operations permitted there.
Most notable to the devoted contender must be the passed capital and of course grandest city in the country, Almaty, that veritable Las Vegas of central Asia, showing off not less than eighteen casinos and counting. With an escalating 9 percent upsurge every year, the Kazakh economy has developed greatly in the last 10 yrs. and with it the Kazakh appetite for the gambling tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is shielded from its last existence as the first city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought glamor and of course anticipation to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s grandest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this exceptional Kazakhstan casino hotel can exhibit twenty six games tables and ninety-three slot machine games.
What’s more, the mania for web-based poker hasn’t gone neglected in Kazakhstan casinos with the advancement of video poker hastily becoming a preferred choice. Outside of Almaty, the high-spirited bettor is also served; for e.g., the capital Astana has five casinos, the premium one in the midst of them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that boasts absolutely no less than twenty card tables. If that isn’t enough for you, casinos are also found further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, also Ust-kamenogorsk. It is very obvious, in any case, that the Kazakh favoritism for the green baize and clink of chips isn’t stated, because the vice-foreign minister recently visited Macao as well as Hong Kong. The visit was expressed to be a "short but fruitful" trip developed to study the casino industries of these towns and instigate preference in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino business. In fact, a plausible direct air link has been touted between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which may lift appetite for this once exotic destination soon set to become the preference of the popular crowd.
