There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, features 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights many amenities aside from the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
