There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den betting is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is true of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, contains 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights many comforts in addition to the casino, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight table games.
