There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that features numerous amenities accompanying the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
