There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is not permitted. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel compound that features many comforts aside from the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
