There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that features many conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
