There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent spot, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
