There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, in which casino betting is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, highlights 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains many amenities accompanying the casino, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
