There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, features 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that features a number of comforts accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight table games.
