Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den betting is against the law. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 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 soon followed. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (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 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that contains many conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and 88 tables.
