Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and even though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 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 soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six 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 one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
