Cambodia Casinos
There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is banned. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four 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, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that features numerous comforts aside from the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
