• Cambodia Gambling Halls

    [ English ]

    There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not permitted. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of most borders.

    The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

    The first casino 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 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and seventy 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 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
