There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous amenities on top of the casino, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 tables.
