There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, features 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features a number of amenities on top of the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight table games.
