Casinos of Nepal

Through the decades, Kathmandu has seen many alterations; in trends and people. However, one thing has always been in vogue that of South Asians coming to Kathmandu to play in the Casinos of Nepal. The four Casinos in Kathmandu situated inside the city’s top hotels provide 24 hours of round-the-clock fun and games like roulette, flush, baccarat, poker, pontoon, blackjack and other card games and slot machines. All the games are played with chips which are bought with US dollars or Indian rupees. You'll get free food and even disco if you put some lucre on the tables. Nepali's are officially forbidden from entering in Casinos.
Gambling has always been a part of South Asian culture. When you look at ancient paintings and text, you see kings and their women playing dice. When you look at Holy Scriptures, you read of gods and sages gambling. The attractions of the casinos of Nepal are round the clock play, multilingual service staff, food and beverages and even smoking materials provided to all players, polite dealers provide training for beginners or to introduce new games, and free transportation service.
Since opening in 1992, Casino Anna became the most patronized of all casinos in Nepal. Situated in Kathmandu's most popular tourist center, Durbar Marg, it allows you to be in the heart of the action. Travel agencies, hotels, banks, airlines, shops and other requirements are located next door.
Although located ideally for easy airport access, Casino Everest lies in the placid area of Baneswor. The adjacent towns of Bhaktapur, Patan, Katmandu and the Temple of Pashupatinath offer possibility of quick excursions for the visitor.
Casino Nepal, the oldest casino in Nepal, is also the most frequented casino in the Valley. The other casinos have followed in its footsteps as it sets the trend for different games and tournaments.
Casino Royale, located in a building that is part of a 125-year-old Rana Palace. It is the pride of the Rana kings who built many fantastic palaces and parks in Nepal. Most of the mirrors and chandeliers were brought abroad from Europe and brought into mountainous Nepal on the backs of humans.
