Cambodia Gambling Dens

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino betting is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that contains numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
