There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino betting is not legal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, contains 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel building that features numerous amenities in addition to the casino, which provides ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
