Cambodia Gambling Dens

[ English ]

There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is banned. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income 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 hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that features numerous comforts aside from the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
