Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 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, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
