Cambodia Casinos


There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features a number of conveniences aside from the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
