There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights numerous luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
