There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that features many amenities aside from the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
