Cambodia Casinos
There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, features 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel compound that features a number of conveniences aside from the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
