Cambodia Gambling Dens

October 14th, 2015 at 4:21

There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is banned. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering 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 only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights many amenities on top of the casino, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
