Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights many luxuries in addition to the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
