There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel building that contains a number of conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
