There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gaming is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
