There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables 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 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that features numerous luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
