There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, ten 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
