There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship casino, highlights 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel building that highlights numerous comforts in addition to the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
