There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, where casino gaming is against the law. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing 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 limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are apparently needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of amenities on top of the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
