There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, 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 den, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 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 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel building that highlights many amenities aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
