There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where casino gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games.
