There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that highlights many conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
