You can play poker in Almaty tonight without leaving home or risking money. Anubis City is a free browser game set in a pixel-art city on the Nile, where real people play Texas Hold’em, 75-ball bingo, European roulette, blackjack and slots. The chips are debens, given by the game and impossible to buy or cash out; new players get 100,000 on arrival.
Almaty is Kazakhstan’s largest city and home to many foreigners who work in English, so the English version is complete — menus, table hints and signs. Your Kazakh friends can play in Russian at the same table, since each player chooses a language for themselves. Bishkek is a few hours away by road but now an hour ahead: since March 2024 Kazakhstan has run on UTC+5, while Kyrgyzstan stayed on UTC+6.
To play for the city, open your profile, choose My city and type Almaty — the old name Alma-Ata works too. From then on your experience counts in the City of the Week race, where Almaty is ranked against Astana, Shymkent and every city in the game by its ten best players of the week. A private table gets your own group together with a six-character code. If you would rather not name a city, “Country only” still counts your games for Kazakhstan.

Questions
Is this sports poker?
The rules are the same No-Limit Texas Hold’em, without entry fees or prizes. That makes it good practice: play hundreds of hands for free and keep the starting hands chart open.
Can friends from Bishkek join?
Yes. A private table works across borders and a guest needs only the link; just remember that Bishkek is an hour ahead of Almaty.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The game runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on a computer, phone or tablet.
