Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den betting is illegal. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are apparently required to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous comforts aside from the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
