There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, contains 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, 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. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that contains many luxuries on top of the casino, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
