There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits 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 features three hundred slot machines and 70 table games 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 (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that features numerous comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
