Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel building that highlights numerous amenities in addition to the gambling den, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
