There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not legal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel compound that features many luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
