Free poker online in Chișinău

Anubis City is a free browser game, and from Chișinău it takes about a minute to reach a poker table: open the page, enter as a guest, walk to the Temple of Fortune. Real people play Texas Hold’em there, and the same pixel-art city has bingo, European roulette, blackjack and slots. Nothing costs money — the chips are debens that cannot be bought or cashed out.

The game has no Romanian version yet, which matters in a city where Romanian is the first language for most people. English and Russian are complete, though, and every player picks a language for themselves. Many families in Chișinău have someone working abroad — in Bucharest, London, Dublin or Paris. Bucharest shares your clock, Paris is an hour behind, London and Dublin two: a private table at 21:00 Chișinău time is a comfortable 19:00 in London.

In the City of the Week race Chișinău is scored like every other city, by the experience its ten best players earn in seven days, so a smaller capital can outrun a much larger one. Pick My city in your profile and type “Chisinau” — no diacritics needed — to start counting for the capital. The Moldova page covers the local law on games of chance and other cities.
