Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are situated 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 trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous conveniences aside from the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight table games.
