Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.

The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that features many luxuries aside from the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
