Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling den, highlights 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten 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 soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features numerous comforts accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
