Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling den, contains 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 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 ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel building that contains a number of comforts on top of the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
