• Cambodia Gambling Halls

    [ English ]

    There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving 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 constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.

    The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, highlights 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 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 soon followed. There are 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that features a number of amenities aside from the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
