Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (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 normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that highlights a number of comforts accompanying the casino, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
