There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which casino gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains numerous luxuries aside from the gambling den, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
