Turkmenistan casinos

Turkmenistan is one of the states that came from the falling apart of the Soviet Union. While it has a long history from being an offshoot of the Hunnish Empire in the 6th century, it's never been much more than a backwater of history.

In common with much of the CIS, Turkmenistan's casinos have been legalized. There was always underground gaming, but in the interests of regulating (and taxing), licences have been granted for the two casinos in the capital Ashgabat.

List of Turkmenistan's casinos includes:

Ashgabat: Grand Casino - Ten game tables and 150 slot machines.

Ashgabat: Ak Altin Casino - Four game tables and 15 slot machines.

Turkmenistan part of the Caspian Sea

The Caspian Sea is bordered by five nations. Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Iran, and Turkmenistan, all have interest in the development of this huge body of water. The three northern countries, Russia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan, signed a 2003 agreement dividing the northern 64% of the sea amongst themselves.

Corrupt countries

More than two-thirds of the 159 countries surveyed show a serious and worrisome level of corruption, and nearly half of them scored no better than 3. The worst,in fact, are Chad, Bangladesh, Turkmenistan, Myanmar and Haiti – also the poorest countries in the world
