Landlocked Kazakhstan has prolonged to be a mystery to the western traveler for many hundred years, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. A handful of outsiders have experienced the charisma of this central Asian country, besides the sellers who plied the Silk Road. However, considering that Kazakhstan gained its independence in 1991 and above all under the intelligent and noble presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has grown. As the nation blossoms, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil cash, it’s boom time in the gambling associations of this previous soviet republic. There are seven cities that have among them legal casino faculties of which there are conclusively twenty-eight such locations. Indeed if you are ready for a game, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only gaming operations enabled there.

Most celebrated to the committed bettor would be the long-time capital as well as the grandest city in the area, Almaty, that realistic Las Vegas of central Asia, boasting not less than 18 casinos and counting. With an ascending nine per cent growth each year, the Kazakh economy has heightened excessively in the last ten yrs. and with it the Kazakh demand for the wagering tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is not recognizable from its previous time as the core city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought glamor and thrill to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s biggest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this fabulous Kazakhstan casino hotel can display twenty six games tables and ninety-three gaming machines.

What’s more, the craze for Internet poker hasn’t gone neglected in Kazakhstan casinos with the advancement of video poker rapidly becoming a crowd pleaser. Outside of Almaty, the adventurous bettor is also served; as a reference, the capital Astana has 5 casinos, the key one amongst them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that maintains definitely no less than twenty card tables. If that isn’t enough for individuals, casinos are also to be found further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, and Ust-kamenogorsk. It is clear, however, that the Kazakh adoration for the green baize and clink of chips is not stated, because the vice-foreign minister recently went to Macao as well as Hong Kong. The visit was declared to be a "short but fruitful" trip devised to study the gaming businesses of these towns and impel interest in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino industry. Actually, a feasible direct air link has been noted between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which might lift eagerness for this once charismatic area soon set to become the preference of the elite.
