Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is against the law. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital 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 controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel building that contains a number of amenities accompanying the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
