There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, contains 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single 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 one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that features numerous amenities in addition to the casino, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
