There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in 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 vacation and hotel complex that highlights many conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight table games.
