Cambodia Casinos

There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.

The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features numerous comforts accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 tables.
