There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of conveniences on top of the gambling den, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
