There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains numerous amenities in addition to the gambling den, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
