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 legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities aside from the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
