Online poker in Kazakhstan, free and with no money involved: Anubis City is a browser game where real people sit down to Texas Hold’em, bingo, roulette, blackjack and slots in a pixel-art Egyptian city on the Nile. It runs on a computer or a phone with no download and no sign-up, in English, Russian or Ukrainian.
There is no Kazakh version yet. If you are an expat in Almaty or Astana, English covers everything; if your friends prefer Russian, each player picks their own language and you still sit at the same table.
This page shows the players who chose Kazakhstan in their profile — their hands this week, the biggest pot, the roulette number they back most and the weekly top. Online gambling sites are banned in Kazakhstan; Anubis City is not one of them, because there is no money in it at all (see the legal section below).
No-Limit Hold’em at five- and nine-seat tables, with blinds of 50/100, 500/1,000 or 5,000/10,000. The Temple of Fortune hall lists every open table and who is sitting there, so you can join people you know or press “Quick game”. Empty seats go to opponents marked “AI”, who never see your cards.
A tip for your first evening: sit at the Scribes’ Table and buy in for 100 big blinds — 10,000 of your starting 100,000 debens. That leaves room for mistakes and a rebuy. More on the poker page and in our hand rankings.

75-ball bingo in the Hall of Seshat is the calmest game in town: buy a card and the server draws the balls. AUTO halls mark the numbers for you; MANUAL halls need attention — a false “BINGO!” rests your button for 5, then 10, then 20 seconds. Up to 40 players share a hall, and a twin hall opens when it fills up. Our bingo rules.

European roulette in the Rotunda of Shai spins on a schedule: a round takes about half a minute and the wheel is shared by the whole table. You can sit down without debens just to watch.
Blackjack in the Hall of Thoth uses six decks and five boxes. When fewer than three people are seated, “AI” players fill the boxes and leave as soon as people arrive. The tables are named after places where Thoth was worshipped — Khemenu, Tuna, Saqqara.

The Treasury of Ra has three machines: Sevens of Ra (three reels, five lines), Book of Thoth (ten free spins with an expanding symbol) and Treasures of Horus (Hold & Win with a GRAND jackpot of 1,000 bets). Autoplay and turbo are there when you want them. See all three.

The top counts experience earned this week — hands (games against AI count too), daily visits, Ra’s Boat and chat — for the country and city in your profile at the time. Only in-game names appear, and only for players who chose to show their place.
The weekly top is shown when at least five players from here have chosen to show their place.
Short answer: online gambling sites are prohibited in Kazakhstan, and Anubis City is not gambling. The longer version comes with the usual caveat — we are not lawyers.
The Law on Gambling Business of 2007 (in Russian) defines a gambling game as a risk-based agreement on winnings. A stake is a sum of money the participant hands to the organiser; winnings are a property benefit the organiser must pay out. The law bans websites that run such games in real time, and nobody under 21 may take part in gambling.
Anubis City has no money stake and no winnings: debens come from the game, cannot be bought and cannot be turned into tenge or goods. Tellingly, the law says it does not cover gaming machines that pay no winnings. As far as we understand, Anubis City falls outside it. You need to be 18 to play.
Checked:
No — the law bans online gambling venues, meaning games with a money stake and a prize. Anubis City has no money at all: debens cannot be bought or cashed out, so as we understand it, it is a social game.
Not yet. The game is in English, Russian and Ukrainian, and each player picks their own language.
Yes, in Chrome or Safari on your phone. The table and buttons adapt to small screens; there is no app to install.
A saved character can open a private table in the Temple of Fortune and send the friend a six-character code or a link. They can join even as a guest.
