There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, features 150 slots and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten 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 soon followed. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also 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 vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences on top of the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
