Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired 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 controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of amenities in addition to the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
