Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, features 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that highlights many conveniences in addition to the casino, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
