Cambodia Casinos

[ English ]

There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, ten 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that contains numerous amenities on top of the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
