Cambodia Gambling Dens

January 20th, 2018 Leave a comment Go to comments

There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that highlights numerous amenities aside from the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
