Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship casino, features 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that highlights many amenities on top of the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
