There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which casino gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 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 a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
