There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is illegal. Eight casinos are based in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming 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 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous luxuries in addition to the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
