There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel compound that features numerous comforts aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 tables.
