Cambodia Casinos
Monday, 23. November 2015
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling den, contains 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that contains many conveniences on top of the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
