There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino gaming is illegal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous luxuries in addition to the casino, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
