Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is banned. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that features a number of comforts on top of the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
