There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel compound that features a number of comforts in addition to the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight tables.
