Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts in addition to the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
