There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 tables.
