There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is banned. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five 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 slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights many conveniences in addition to the casino, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
