Cambodia Gambling Dens

There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 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, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features a number of luxuries on top of the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
