Saturday, 20. February 2010
Landlocked Kazakhstan has been left a mystery to the western traveler for ages, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. Several outsiders have experienced the charisma of this central Asian country, other than the salespersons who plied the Silk Road. However, considering that Kazakhstan obtained its independence in 1991 and specifically under the clever and unselfish presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has flourished. As the nation flourishes, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil currency, it’s boom time in the games businesses of this long ago soviet republic. There are seven cities that have amid them legal casino resources of which there are exactly twenty-eight such locations. In truth if you are craving for a game, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only wagering operations allowed there.
Most celebrated to the constant casino player would be the long-time capital and of course exorbitant city in the area, Almaty, that believable Las Vegas of central Asia, flaunting no less than 18 casinos and counting. With an escalating nine per cent upsurge yearly, the Kazakh economy has heightened exceptionally in the last ten years and with it the Kazakh aspiration for the betting tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is not recognizable from its previous existence as the key city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought class along with fascination 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 display 26 games tables and ninety three slot machines.
What’s more, the frenzy for web poker has not gone unseen in Kazakhstan casinos with the breakthrough of video poker swiftly becoming a preferred choice. Outside of Almaty, the fearless player is also served; e.g., the capital Astana has 5 casinos, the main one in the midst of them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that enjoys no less than 20 card tables. If that is not nearly enough for persons, casinos are also found further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, and also Ust-kamenogorsk. It is very clear, in any case, that the Kazakh delight for the green baize and clink of chips isn’t stated, due to the fact that the vice-foreign minister in recent times went to Macao and Hong Kong. The visit was announced to be a "short but fruitful" trip created to study the betting businesses of these towns and arouse favor in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino business. Indeed, a plausible direct air link has been touted between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which would elevate interest for this once captivating spot soon set to become the pick of the right people.
