There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that highlights many amenities in addition to the gambling den, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 tables.
