Cambodia Casinos
There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is prohibited. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly required to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games 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 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved 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 common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that contains many amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
