Cambodia Gambling Dens


There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, contains 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains a number of comforts aside from the casino, which contains ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
