Kazakhstan Casinos
Landlocked Kazakhstan has lasted as a mystery to the western traveler for several hundred years, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. A couple of outsiders have acquainted themselves with the charisma of this central Asian country, apart from the merchants who plied the Silk Road. Nevertheless, since Kazakhstan accomplished its independence in 1991 and notably under the intelligent and noble presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has blossomed. As the nation thrives, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil capital, it’s boom time in the gambling establishments of this long ago soviet republic. There are 7 cities that have among them legal casino accommodations of which there are actually 28 such areas. Certainly if you are hungry for a challenge, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only gaming operations at liberty there.
Most acclaimed to the constant player must be the long-time capital and colossal city in the country, Almaty, that realistic Las Vegas of central Asia, boasting no less than 18 casinos and counting. With an elevating 9% growth every year, the Kazakh economy has grown hugely in the last 10 years and with it the Kazakh craze for the gambling tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is unrecognizable from its preceding period as the principal city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought class as well as anticipation to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s biggest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this extravagant Kazakhstan casino hotel can maintain 26 games tables and ninety-three slot games.
What’s more, the infatuation for cyber poker has not gone disregarded in Kazakhstan casinos with the modernization of video poker swiftly becoming a crowd pleaser. Outside of Almaty, the adventurous gamer is also served; as a reference, the capital Astana has 5 casinos, the main one among them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that enjoys not less than twenty card tables. If that is in no way enough for gamblers, casinos are also located further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, as well as Ust-kamenogorsk. It is apparent, in any case, that the Kazakh favoritism for the green baize and clink of chips isn’t stated, given that the vice-foreign minister in recent times visited Macao as well as Hong Kong. The visit was reported to be a "short but fruitful" trip devised to study the betting industries of these towns and empower enthusiasm in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino business. Actually, a plausible direct air link has been publicized between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which may build desire for this once beautiful place soon set to become the preference of the cream of society.
