There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent spot, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, highlights 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences in addition to the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
