Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is against the law. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains numerous luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which has 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
