Cambodia Casinos

[ English ]

There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally 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 first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines 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 initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences in addition to the gambling den, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
