Cambodia Gambling Dens


There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, contains 150 slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games.
