There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is against the law. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
