There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling hall betting is banned. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 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 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that contains numerous luxuries in addition to the gambling hall, which has 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
