There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is illegal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls 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 amazing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that features a number of comforts in addition to the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
