There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens 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 accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 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 quickly opened. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities aside from the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
