There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very 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 couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts on top of the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
