There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, contains 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games 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 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel building that features numerous conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
