Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, contains 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that features many comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
