There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of conveniences accompanying the casino, which houses 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
