Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino gaming is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, contains 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy table games 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 (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that contains many amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
