Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
