There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features a number of conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
