There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, 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-around resort and hotel building that contains numerous amenities aside from the casino, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight table games.
