There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel compound that contains a number of amenities in addition to the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and 88 table games.
