There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel complex that contains many comforts aside from the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
