Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino wagering is illegal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features many conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
