There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship casino, features 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that features numerous comforts accompanying the casino, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 table games.
