There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again 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 is located in an international resort and hotel building that highlights many luxuries on top of the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
