Land-based casinos

In Turkmenistan, the activities of land-based casinos, gambling halls and any establishments with cash bets are completely prohibited.

After the 2000s, the state headed for a conservative social model that excludes gambling entertainment from public space.

Attempts to open private clubs or entertainment centers with casino elements are thwarted, and premises and equipment are confiscated.

Tourism focuses on cultural, natural and historical routes rather than the gambling sector.

State policy emphasizes moral and ethical standards and the protection of the population from gambling addiction, which makes the legalization of offline casinos unlikely in the foreseeable future.
