Casino "Flamingo" - the first legal institution in Kazakhstan

In 2007, Kazakhstan adopted a law "On gambling business," according to which the casino can be opened only in two designated areas, located in the cities and Kapchagai Shchukin. Soon there opened the first legal institution. One of them was the casino "Flamingo" in Kapchagai (Almaty region, 76 kilometers north of Alma-Ata).
Kazakhstan has taken drastic steps to fight the nation's gambling craze by ordering all gambling halls and casinos to move to just two lakeside towns.

The government measure took effect on 1 January, although construction is far from finished in both towns.

There seems to be plenty of discontent among the country's gamblers, but it is not expressed openly. President Nursultan Nazarbayev is behind the idea, and in Kazakhstan nobody argues with him.

Kazahkstan's new oil wealth has brought along a desire to spend and a major gambling boom. There are more than 2.000 gambling halls in the country.   But the president want to clean up Kazakhstan's gambling industry.
