Cambodia Gambling Dens


There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 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. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (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 table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that highlights many amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
