Cambodia Gambling Dens

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a excellent area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 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 soon followed. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a inn, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in multinational vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of luxuries accompanying the casino, which has 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and 88 table games.
