• Cambodia Gambling Halls

    [ English ]

    There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate 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 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

    The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that features many amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and 88 tables.
