Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting 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 dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts accompanying the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
