There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of luxuries in addition to the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
