There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den betting is banned. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight 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 one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant 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. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences in addition to the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 table games.
