There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not legal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel building that features many amenities accompanying the casino, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 table games.
