There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino gaming is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that highlights a number of amenities aside from the casino, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 tables.
