There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that features numerous comforts aside from the casino, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
