There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall betting is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and seventy gaming 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 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel compound that features a number of luxuries aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
