There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 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, opened 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 one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 table games.
