There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel building that highlights a number of conveniences aside from the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
