There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are apparently needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, contains 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous luxuries aside from the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
