Cambodia Casinos


There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not allowed. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer 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 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains numerous conveniences accompanying the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
