There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is against the law. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
