There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, contains 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that features a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
