There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, highlights 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 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 newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that contains a number of amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
