There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that contains a number of luxuries in addition to the casino, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
