There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous comforts in addition to the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
