There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall betting is not legal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of 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 a multinational vacation and hotel building that features many amenities aside from the gambling hall, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
