Cambodia Casinos
Sunday, 16. July 2023
There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous luxuries on top of the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
