There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features a number of amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
