Cambodia Gambling Dens
Saturday, 2. January 2016
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls 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 presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous amenities on top of the casino, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
