Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of amenities on top of the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
