Cambodia Gambling Dens
Monday, 14. March 2016
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is against the law. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table 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 soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights many luxuries in addition to the casino, which contains 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and 88 tables.
