Cambodia Casinos


There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, features 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that features many conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
