Cambodia Casinos
There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den betting is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, contains 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, 10 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, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that contains many amenities on top of the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 table games.
