There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel building that contains many conveniences on top of the casino, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
