There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more 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 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities in addition to the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
