There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel building that contains a number of luxuries aside from the casino, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
