There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one 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 opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, 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 comprehensive vacation and hotel building that features a number of comforts in addition to the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
