There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel building that features numerous amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
