There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is illegal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that highlights many comforts on top of the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 tables.
