Top Poker Club in Kazakhstan for the Year 2016
Let's Chat About the Best Poker Club in Kazakhstan 2021
You only get one shot to pick your favorite poker club in Kazakhstan, so let's make it count! Here's a rundown of the relevant criteria to guide your decision.
- Regular tournaments and cash games
- Quality of staff and dealers' work
- Atmosphere and overall comfort
- Promotions and goodies
- Outstanding service
- Accessibility
Get ready to check out the action at these participating clubs in Kazakhstan:
- Alma City: Kicking off with the KazPokerTour tournament in March, it didn't quite hit the mark initially. But as of April, they've been hosting regular games, becoming a go-to spot by offering affordable tournaments and games with a minimal buy-in. Some local flavor remains, with Kazakh paintings, photos, chips, and friendly dealers. Known as "Making Poker Accessible," Alma City is a strong contender for "Club of the Year."
- Bombay: Established for three years, this solid casino is renowned for its luxurious feel. In 2021, it hosted the APoker.kz Cup tournament and a jackpot event, giving away a car as part of the winnings. However, weekly tournaments have somewhat slowed down in the last few months. Despite its high-end cash games and top-notch comfort, it's clear that Bombay isn't the best place for tournament poker in the CIS anymore.
- CashVille: Hosting one EAPT series in 2021, it was a blast - with the added benefit of making it to the final myself! Their space moved into a casino's premises, and they now offer cash games only on weekends. Unfortunately, disagreements over prices at Rixos Hotel prevent CashVille from becoming a full-fledged tournament platform. It's good for games, great service, and comfort on weekends.
- Flamingo: This new kid on the block opened its doors in the Flamingo casino in the fall and started strong, offering great cash games and an impressive tournament with a buy-in of $200 and a $500 guarantee. However, since then, things have slowed down quite a bit, leaving the club almost deserted during November-December. Perhaps it's too crowded for three clubs in Kapchagay?
- Macau: This secretive club has refused to cooperate with our review and remains hush-hush about its information, which is puzzling. In spring 2021, they canceled tournaments during a series, leaving players questioning their commitment to the game.
Which one of these Kasakhstan clubs will you be swinging by? Make your vote count, and remember - it's just a game, folks! Let's keep it fun and friendly! Stay tuned for the PokerKZ forum's annual Forum Member of the Year voting and the Kazakhstan Poker 2021 Results thread. Happy gaming!
