There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, in which casino gambling is illegal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that features numerous luxuries on top of the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
