There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens 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 bateau casino, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel compound that contains a number of conveniences aside from the casino, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
