There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 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 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many amenities in addition to the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 tables.
