Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four 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 original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous luxuries on top of the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
