Cambodia Casinos
There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists 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 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of conveniences accompanying the gambling hall, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
