Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors 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 to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous comforts on top of the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
