There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that contains a number of amenities aside from the casino, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 tables.
