There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
