Cambodia Casinos
There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The initial 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, an anchored bateau casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts on top of the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
