There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slots and 5 table games 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 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that features a number of comforts accompanying the gambling den, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
