There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first 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 docked ship gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features many comforts on top of the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
