Friday, 16. October 2009
Landlocked Kazakhstan has continued to be a mystery to the western traveler for ages, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. Some outsiders have been enlightened on the charms of this central Asian country, other than the merchandisers who plied the Silk Road. However, given that Kazakhstan attained its independence in 1991 and specifically under the intelligent and benevolent presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has progressed. As the nation thrives, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil revenue, it’s boom time in the playing enterprises of this former soviet republic. There are 7 cities that have within them legal casino faculties of which there are conclusively twenty-eight such areas. In truth if you are hungry for a wager, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only wagering operations allowed there.
Most acclaimed to the committed contender should be the prior capital and also grandest city in the region, Almaty, that believable Las Vegas of central Asia, boasting no less than 18 casinos and counting. With an ascending 9 per cent increase per annum, the Kazakh economy has grown immensely in the last 10 yrs. and with it the Kazakh craze for the betting tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is unrecognizable from its previous duration as the chief city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought style and excitement to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s biggest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this exceptional Kazakhstan casino hotel can hold 26 games tables and 93 slot machine games.
What’s more, the craze for web-based poker hasn’t gone without observation in Kazakhstan casinos with the introduction of video poker fast becoming a preferred choice. Outside of Almaty, the intrepid gambler is also served; e.g., the capital Astana has 5 casinos, the better one amongst them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that enjoys not less than twenty card tables. If that is in no way enough for individuals, casinos are also found further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, as well as Ust-kamenogorsk. It is very clear, in any case, that the Kazakh dedication for the green baize and clink of chips isn’t stated, since the vice-foreign minister lately visited Macao and also Hong Kong. The visit was reported to be a "short but fruitful" trip put together to study the betting market of these towns and arouse interest in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino business. In fact, a possible direct air link has been established between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which may lift enthusiasm for this once captivating region soon set to become the pick of the popular crowd.
