• Cambodia Gambling Halls

    There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are apparently needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many borders.

    The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

    The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of amenities accompanying the gambling den, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 tables.
