There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred 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 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features numerous conveniences accompanying the casino, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 tables.
