Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, features 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 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 gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 tables.
