Cambodia Gambling Dens

There is an captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship casino, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 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, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a inn, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in international vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts on top of the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
