There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is true of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of luxuries on top of the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
