There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that features numerous conveniences on top of the gambling den, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
