There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many luxuries aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 tables.
