There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that contains a number of luxuries aside from the gambling den, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
