• Cambodia Gambling Halls

    There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is not legal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.

    The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

    The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel building that contains numerous amenities in addition to the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
