There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (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 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that features numerous comforts aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
