Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, highlights 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one 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 machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features numerous luxuries aside from the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
