Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, features 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant 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 familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that contains a number of comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
