Cambodia Gambling Halls


There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four 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 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts in addition to the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
