Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, 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 machines and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
