There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel complex that contains numerous luxuries in addition to the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
