There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens 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, an anchored bateau gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (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 common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities on top of the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
