There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features numerous comforts accompanying the casino, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
