There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that contains numerous amenities accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
