There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, 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 machines and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games.
