There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which provides ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 table games.
