There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is not legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 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, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single 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 166 slot machines and ninety seven table games.
