Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, contains 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, 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 resort and hotel compound that contains numerous conveniences on top of the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 tables.
