There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 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 quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that features a number of conveniences aside from the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
