There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is banned. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (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 common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that contains many amenities aside from the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 table games.
