There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers 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 twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, contains 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 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 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that contains numerous luxuries accompanying the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
