There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights many luxuries aside from the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 tables.
