There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights many comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
