There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, features 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (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 sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that highlights many comforts accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
