There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel building that contains many luxuries in addition to the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight table games.
