Cambodia Gambling Halls


There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that contains many luxuries aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
