There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, highlights 150 one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of comforts on top of the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
