Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall betting is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains many luxuries on top of the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
