There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
