Cambodia Casinos

There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is not legal. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, highlights 150 slots and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of luxuries aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
