Cambodia Gambling Halls


There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous amenities on top of the casino, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
