There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that features a number of amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 tables.
