Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den betting is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that features a number of conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
