Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains a number of conveniences accompanying the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
