There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is banned. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one 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 a number of comforts on top of the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
