Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling den, contains 150 slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel building that contains many conveniences on top of the casino, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 gaming tables.
