Cambodia Casinos
Wednesday, 17. September 2025
There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel compound that contains a number of comforts on top of the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
