There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat casino, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel compound that contains a number of comforts aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
