There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, features 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that contains many amenities aside from the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
