Cambodia Casinos


[ English ]

There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 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. A total of 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in 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 a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights numerous comforts accompanying the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
