There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are based in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, features 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights numerous luxuries on top of the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
