Cambodia Gambling Dens


There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which casino gambling is banned. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, 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 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel compound that highlights many comforts aside from the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
