Cambodia Gambling Dens
Friday, 20. January 2017
There is an interesting history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is banned. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that features numerous amenities accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
