There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 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 beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of conveniences on top of the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight table games.
