Cambodia Casinos

There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest 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 just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are apparently required to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous comforts accompanying the casino, which has 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
