There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship casino, contains 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features numerous amenities aside from the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
