There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently required to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (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 common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel complex that features numerous amenities aside from the gambling den, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
