Cambodia Gambling Dens


There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.

The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous comforts aside from the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
