There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is banned. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that features a number of conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
