Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel building that contains many amenities accompanying the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
