Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where casino betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer 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 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of luxuries accompanying the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
