• Cambodia Gambling Halls

    There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino betting is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

    The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 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, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of amenities aside from the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
