There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that features numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
