Cambodia Casinos

There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, features 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights numerous comforts on top of the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
