There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and five 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 contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, 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 slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that contains many luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
