There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that features a number of conveniences aside from the gambling den, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
