There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is not permitted. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, contains 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
