Cambodia Gambling Halls

There is an interesting history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, features 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that features numerous amenities aside from the gambling hall, which has 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
