There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six 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 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features a number of conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
