Cambodia Casinos

There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, contains 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table 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. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant 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 gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight tables.
