There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous amenities accompanying the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
