There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is banned. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten 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, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous amenities in addition to the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
