Cambodia Gambling Dens
Saturday, 24. April 2021
There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, contains 150 slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines 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 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features many comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
