Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one 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 is located in an international resort and hotel building that features many conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
