There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling 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 few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities on top of the gambling hall, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
