There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, highlights 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts on top of the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
