There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one 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 before long followed. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines 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 dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that highlights a number of luxuries on top of the casino, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
