Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not legal. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts accompanying the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
