There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which houses ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and 88 tables.
