There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machines and five 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 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of luxuries on top of the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
