There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not allowed. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued 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 couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features numerous conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
