There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel building that features numerous comforts aside from the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
