Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, features 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that features many comforts in addition to the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
