Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, contains 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many comforts accompanying the gambling den, which contains ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
