There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that features a number of comforts on top of the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
