There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines 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 one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many conveniences accompanying the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
