There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling den, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common tables, 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 one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that contains many luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
