Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are apparently required to cross, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, contains 150 slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, 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 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that highlights many comforts on top of the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
