Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight casinos are based in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous amenities aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
