There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to cross, there are means around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, features 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features many conveniences aside from the gambling den, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
