Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten 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 opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 gaming 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 dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which provides ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
