There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are established in a generally small area 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 betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four 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, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 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 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities on top of the casino, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 gaming tables.
