Cambodia Gambling Dens


[ English ]

There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, features 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables 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 banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that contains numerous conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
