There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship casino, features 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games.
