There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is banned. Eight casinos are established in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains many luxuries on top of the gambling den, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
