There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly required to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities accompanying the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
