There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel building that highlights a number of amenities aside from the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
