There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship casino, contains 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that features a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
