There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
