There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
