There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, where casino gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving 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 halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights a number of comforts aside from the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
