There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that highlights many amenities aside from the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 tables.
