There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, contains 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous amenities aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
