There is a captivating history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which casino gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy 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 eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
