There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are apparently needed to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four 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, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved 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 common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many amenities aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
