There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and even though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most borders.
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 moored barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that highlights many amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
