Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not permitted. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow.
