There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened 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 moored bateau gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that features a number of amenities aside from the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 tables.
