Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently required to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of comforts accompanying the casino, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
