There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of 21, 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, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities aside from the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight tables.
