There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits 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 one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of comforts on top of the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
