There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, features 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular 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 familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that features numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 tables.
