Wednesday, 23. December 2009
Landlocked Kazakhstan has existed as a mystery to the western traveler for many hundred years, unknown from the pages of Marco Polo or Kipling. A handful of outsiders have acquainted themselves with the appeal of this central Asian country, other than the vendors who plied the Silk Road. Still, seeing that Kazakhstan achieved its independence in 1991 and specially under the astute and unselfish presidency of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has grown. As the nation blossoms, so do Kazakhstan casinos. Flushed with oil capital, it’s boom time in the wagering corporations of this former soviet republic. There are seven cities that have amidst them legal casino provisions of which there are specifically twenty eight such hangouts. Definitely if you are eager for a bet, the tables are the only game in town, as Kazakhstan casinos are the only gaming operations justified there.
Most distinguished to the committed casino player should be the long-time capital and of course largest city in the region, Almaty, that evident Las Vegas of central Asia, showing off not less than 18 casinos and counting. With an escalating 9 per cent development per annum, the Kazakh economy has developed enormously in the last ten yrs. and with it the Kazakh demand for the betting tables. The cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic, multinational city of Almaty is hidden from its preceding days as the first city of a grey Soviet satellite state. New wealth has brought glamor and also anticipation to the place, a fact best embodied by the city’s grandest casino, Casino Viva. One of a chain, this awesome Kazakhstan casino hotel can display twenty six games tables and 93 gaming machines.
What’s more, the mania for on-line poker has not gone overlooked in Kazakhstan casinos with the breakthrough of video poker hurriedly becoming a leading preference. Outside of Almaty, the fearless bettor is also served; for e.g., the capital Astana has five casinos, the main one amongst them being one of the Casino Zodiak chain that boasts no less than 20 card tables. If that is not actually enough for you, casinos are also to be found further afield in the cities of Aktobe, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Shimkent, and Ust-kamenogorsk. It is very clear, however, that the Kazakh dedication for the green baize and clink of chips is not stated, since the vice-foreign minister a short while ago went to Macao along with Hong Kong. The visit was certified to be a "short but fruitful" trip developed to study the games businesses of these towns and instigate interest in Kazakhstan’s nascent casino industry. Certainly, a possible direct air link has been endorsed between Almaty and Hong Kong or Macao, which could boost willingness for this once captivating destination soon set to become the desire of the right people.
