There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of comforts in addition to the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
