There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino gambling is not allowed. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened 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, a moored ship gambling den, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga casino 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 first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel building that contains a number of luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
