There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, highlights 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six 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 familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel complex that highlights many amenities aside from the casino, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
