Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
