Cambodia Gambling Dens

[ English ]

There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 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 initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker.
