Cambodia Gambling Halls
Thursday, 13. December 2018
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 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, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
