There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, features 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel building that highlights a number of luxuries accompanying the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
