Cambodia Gambling Halls

[ English ]

There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of many border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 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 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered 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 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games.
