There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel building that contains many amenities accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 tables.
