There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not permitted. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that features many conveniences aside from the gambling den, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
