There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest 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 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel building that features many amenities accompanying the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
