Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where casino betting is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that features many amenities aside from the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
