There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are apparently required to cross, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel building that contains many luxuries in addition to the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
