There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship casino, contains 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (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 common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that highlights many amenities accompanying the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
