Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino gaming is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains many amenities in addition to the casino, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
