Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy 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 eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features many luxuries in addition to the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
