Cambodia Casinos
Friday, 9. May 2025
There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, features 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel building that contains a number of conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
