There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel building that contains numerous conveniences in addition to the casino, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 tables.
