There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that highlights a number of conveniences in addition to the casino, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 tables.
