Poker In Asia
With poker as popular as it is now, you might be getting curious as to how poker is played and perceived in other parts of the world. Let’s take a look at Asia and the way people there perceive poker. India is one of the biggest countries in Central Asia. This is one country which considers gambling to be a legal pastime. Within the country, there are 5 cities with 6 legal gambling facilities. The gambling facilities are basically limited to casinos and casino cruises though. Poker, slot machines, and video poker are among the most popular games in Indian casinos.
Local Indians and tourists alike are flocking more and more to these casino cities. This is not so surprising as the Indian government has been stepping up its tourism activities. However, there are still sectors in India who are not totally warm to the idea of gambling. In the cities where gambling is legal and where tourism is a primary activity, there is not much problem though.
Let’s travel a bit and go to the country of Kazakhstan. Most of us have probably heard of this country from the comedian Borat. For those who do not know, there really is a country called Kazakhstan and it just might be pretty different from what you saw in that movie. Anyhow, if you do go there, you will find that there are 7 cities in Kazakhstan which consider gambling as legal. Within these 7 cities, there are 28 legal gambling facilities. They are all land-based casinos. Try to pay a visit to Almaty – this has the most number of casinos. Within Almaty, the largest casino in country is found – Casino Viva.
