There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy 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 eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of luxuries aside from the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
