There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, in which casino gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling den, contains 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 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 one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts aside from the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
