Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, highlights 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that features a number of comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
