There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel building that highlights numerous comforts on top of the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
