There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games.
