Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five 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 halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains a number of amenities on top of the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 tables.
