There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a inn, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features many comforts in addition to the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
