Cambodia Casinos

There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is banned. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that contains many comforts aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight table games.
