Landlocked Kazakhstan has continued to be a mystery to the western traveler for centuries, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. Few outsiders have been enlightened on the fascination of this central Asian country, apart from the salespersons who plied the Silk Road. However, given that Kazakhstan accomplished its independence in 1991 and notably under the insightful and accommodating presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has developed. As the nation blooms, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil currency, it’s boom time in the games associations of this one-time soviet republic. There are seven cities that have among them legal casino faculties of which there are exactly twenty eight such venues. Clearly if you are eager for a bet, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only betting operations justified there.

Most celebrated to the devoted casino player has to be the long-time capital and of course biggest city in the country, Almaty, that veritable Las Vegas of central Asia, flaunting not less than eighteen casinos and counting. With a rising 9 percent upsurge every year, the Kazakh economy has extended immensely in the last ten years and with it the Kazakh appetite for the casino tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is unrecognizable from its previous days as the central city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought refinement and excitement to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s largest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this fantastic Kazakhstan casino hotel can hold twenty six games tables and 93 slots.

What’s more, the craze for cyber poker hasn’t gone disregarded in Kazakhstan casinos with the introduction of video poker hastily becoming a leading preference. Outside of Almaty, the intrepid player is also served; e.g., the capital Astana has 5 casinos, the chief one amongst them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that enjoys not less than twenty card tables. If that is not nearly enough for you, casinos are also found further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, as well as Ust-kamenogorsk. It is very clear, however, that the Kazakh dedication for the green baize and clink of chips is not stated, seeing as the vice-foreign minister in recent times went to Macao and also Hong Kong. The visit was expressed to be a "short but fruitful" trip put together to study the games industries of these towns and arouse preference in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino industry. As a matter of fact, a likely direct air link has been publicized between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which may lift interest for this once exotic region soon set to become the desire of the right people.
