PERFECT ARRANGEMENTS IN CAMBODIA CASINOS
Cambodia’s largest casino is the Holiday Palace Hotel & Resort, but there are a number of other great poker online locations you can consider as well. Before you start gambling, make sure that you’re following Cambodia gambling laws, and ask about payout regulations, dress code, and other casino-specific rules before you leave your hotel to visit a casino. According to travel agencies in the area, the vast majority of gamblers in Cambodia are Thai, though they also see a number of tourists from Japan, South Korea, and other Asian countries. Although gambling is very popular in Poipet, it is no longer allowed in the capital city of Phnom Penh, except at one casino resort. In 1998, the government banned gambling within 200 km of the city to help prevent problems with gambling addiction. “The Cambodian Ministry of Finance and Economy in 2006 collected about 17 million U.S. dollars in tax revenues from the gambling industry, including casino, lottery and electronic gaming. “Casino tax revenues alone amounted to 13 million U.S. dollars, which exceeded the target casino revenues of 12.5 million U.S. dollars laid out in the 2006 national budget. Cambodian Defence Minister Teah Banh said “Thaksin Shinawatra is interested in developing another casino and entertainment complex in the Cambodian province of Koh Kong. On Cambodia’s frontier, the Poipet casino enclave has taken just four years to become a major gambling centre. But it could all vanish as quickly as it appeared. A casino enclave sits on the western edge of the Cambodian border town of Poipet. The area is just a few hundred metres wide and lies between the official Cambodian border crossing and the actual border with Thailand. It’s a perfect arrangement for the mainly Thai gamblers and the casino owners. Casino-gambling is banned in Thailand, so why not build casinos just across the border in Cambodia? But placing them before the Cambodian border checkpoint allows the gamblers to leave Thailand without officially entering the neighbouring country. Few casinos of Cambodia are listed:
- Casinos in Asmech/Surin Border
- Casinos in Bavet
- Casinos in Phnom Penh
- Casinos in Poipet
- Casinos in Sihanoukville
- Casinos in Srok Mondoul Seyma
