Cambodia Gambling Dens
Monday, 9. April 2018
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den betting is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling den, features 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features many comforts accompanying the casino, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
