Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel building that features a number of conveniences on top of the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
