Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved 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. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features numerous luxuries aside from the casino, which has 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
