There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 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 before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights many luxuries in addition to the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
