Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where casino gaming is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two 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 just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that highlights a number of amenities on top of the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
