Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest 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 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in 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 all-around resort and hotel building that highlights numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
