Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is real of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences aside from the casino, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
