Cambodia Gambling Dens

There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, features 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two 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 soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as 1 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 slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains many comforts accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 tables.
