Cambodia Gambling Halls


There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel compound that features numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
