There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are based in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel compound that features many conveniences in addition to the gambling den, which houses 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
