Cambodia Gambling Dens

There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel complex that highlights many amenities aside from the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
