There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 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 motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel building that highlights many comforts on top of the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
