Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den betting is against the law. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that features numerous luxuries accompanying the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
