There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino gaming is prohibited. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are means around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight tables.
