Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists 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 more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 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 den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that highlights many conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
