There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gaming is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six 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 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that features a number of comforts aside from the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight table games.
