There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den betting is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that contains a number of luxuries aside from the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
