There is an interesting history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight casinos are based in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten 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 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that features many amenities in addition to the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
