Cambodia Gambling Dens

[ English ]

There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace.
