Cambodia Casinos
There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gambling is against the law. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace.
