Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel building that contains a number of luxuries aside from the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
