Cambodia Gambling Dens

There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not allowed. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that features numerous luxuries aside from the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
