There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, contains 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that highlights many comforts on top of the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
