There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six 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 one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities in addition to the casino, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
