There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that highlights numerous comforts in addition to the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
